Simpson County Deputy Indicted

 The Justice Department issued the following statement. 

A Simpson County Sheriff’s Deputy appeared for an arraignment today following an Indictment filed in Jackson on criminal charges related to his use of excessive force against an arrestee.

According to court documents, Adrian Durr, 43, of Magee, used excessive force against an arrestee in the custody of the Simpson County Sheriff’s Office. The Indictment alleges that while the arrestee was handcuffed to a bench that was bolted to the floor and shackled with leg irons on his ankles, Durr struck the arrestee in the head with the handgrip of his taser. After striking the arrestee with his taser, Durr kicked the arrestee in the head rendering him unconscious. At all times, the arrestee was handcuffed and hobbled with leg irons on his ankles. 

“Law enforcement officers in Mississippi and throughout the nation are required to take care of the safety and welfare of the people they arrest,” said U.S. Attorney Todd Gee. “Unlawful physical assaults on arrestees are federal crimes that the Justice Department will prosecute.”

“Our citizens deserve credible law enforcement to safeguard the community from crime,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Robert A. Eikhoff. “The actions of Mr. Durr significantly deprived the citizens of that protection and eroded the trust earned each day by honest law enforcement officers throughout the nation. The FBI is committed to aggressively investigating those who misuse their authority and violate individual’s rights in the execution of their sworn duties.”

Durr is charged by Indictment with Deprivation of Civil Rights Under Color of Law. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

U.S. Attorney Todd W. Gee and Special Agent in Charge Robert A. Eikhoff of the Federal Bureau of Investigation made the announcement.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Samuel Goff is prosecuting the case.

B-b-but he was named TOP COP! https://www.simpsoncounty.ms/durr-named-countys-top-cop

If true, he should get every bit of 10 years and all his previous arrests need to be re-investigated at the department’s expense.

Many many connections to Rankin SO! Who really runs Simpson S.O., which taxpayers buy vehicles, housing particular trustees???

Now you know why he was named top cop! Simpson version of the goon squad.

“The times, they are a-changing!” I’m praying, one day, all the good cops will act to end this kind of abuse.

FBI 101. If they aren't cuffed, it's a fair fight. When the cuffs go on leave them alone. The number one thing that will send a cop to prison is the hand cuff situation.

Saw Madison County Deputies on Hwy 22 early this morning; class acts! In over 3 decades of dealing with City of Madison police and Madison County Deputies, so far, all have been class acts! Saw a Rankin Deputy last week and a Rankin Constable week before; both class acts!

The vast majority are great men and women out there risking their lives for us. BUT, too many low IQ roided out s__t eaters are slipping through the cracks and need to have their guns and badges taken away.

A youtuber “The Civil rights Lawyer” regularly posts body cam footage of meathead cops, and their actions are usually shocking.

And it has to be investigated as to how many other people have been abused, beaten or otherwise harmed while in the charge/custody of this man.Like Rankin County Sheriff and deputies, this was in all probability not the first time this has happened. This HAS to stop. We should not have to fear the police.I know there are many good cops. You have the ability to report the bad cops. Please make this better.

Most likely there will be a lawsuit and tax payers will have to pay. It’s time for law enforcement to start paying for there own law suits

"the arrestee was handcuffed to a bench that was bolted to the floor and shackled with leg irons on his ankles"

So the arrestee and the LEO were clearly in a detention center and more than likely in the booking area. This incident was probably witnessed by detention officers in the facility and recorded on video.

Court records show this incident happened on February 18 per the CL and both parties were black. It’s now the middle of October! There is also video!! The wheels of Justice is Slow but Sho!

MS is #1 in piss poor pre-employment background investigations of LE applicants.

Sad but reality. This inmate is not an animal and no animal should be treated as such.To the Sheriff of Simpson County Is this the culture on your watch? Your Deputies including detention personnel I surmise probably not the first time observing this type criminal behavior.

I was ticketed by this outfit just outside of mendenhall a couple of years ago. The officer was overweight and extremely rude. I will never spend another dollar in this shithole ever again. Simpson county LEOs are by far the worst breed of “public servants” in the state. They eclipse Rankin County in terms of self aggrandizement, ignorance, and incompetence. It’s high time the state step in and crackdown on these clown show sheriff’s offices. There needs to be true standards to prevent these little good ole boy shakedown operations. If you can’t fit in a size 34 pair of pants and run 1 mile, then you shouldn’t be given a badge.

Now 12:29 it is evident you know nothing about the High Sheriff! There is no other county elected position Higher! Now you can talk about the fat, uneducated and chew spitting person wearing that badge, but you may have to spend real money going up against the Sheriff’s boys and the good ole justice court judge. So when you pass thru Simpson County just ensure you follow the house rules.

And you wonder why people don’t trust law enforcement

Now 2:19 as you know in any field of endeavor there are the good and the bad. I do know decent and caring Law Enforcement Officers who really carry out their duties according to the Law. But their are some that stray and the Sheriff turns a blind eye until he gets sued or the Justice Department come down on his Office like a Mississippi Tornado!

If the “good cops” coverup the crimes of the bad cops, are they really “good cops”? The answer of course is no, they are just as bad as the ones doing the beatings and planting evidence. Until the thin blue line is erased, there are no “good cops”.

Anonymous said...

My ability to back the blue is no longer an option. If there are any good cops left that want to preserve any sanctity of the profession they should really speak up and become whistleblowers.
As a gun-toting conservative who defended them staunchly in the past, I can confirm they are losing many of us.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
