Trooper Drama

 Why is it troopers can't seem to stay out of trouble?  The Save JXN dude posted this little story on his social media accounts over the weekend: 

This is one of the wildest law enforcement stories I have ever heard! I’m working on confirming the details, but enough of this has been confirmed that I’m comfortable positing: In Brandon, Mississippi, a Mississippi State Highway Patrol Trooper who’s on executive detail (allegedly) walks in on his wife and another guy doing bad things; he then allegedly beats his wife while holding the other guy at gunpoint. The other guy then gets away by stealing the trooper’s unmarked cruiser

Well, JJ did some digging and can report some more information.  The trooper in question was Jamel Green.  He and his wife are getting a divorce.  He visited her residence on the night in question and found out the hard way another man was the object of her affection.  Things got squirrelly  as stated above.  The boyfriend did not steal the cruiser.  Green had (allegedly) blocked in his vehicle in the driveway.  The engine was still running so he backed the cruiser out of the driveway and drove it a short distance down the street.   

The Rankin County Sheriff's Office is investigating the case.  Some are wondering why no one was arrested.  RCSO said neither the wife nor the boyfriend filed a criminal complaint against Green.  The newly-created Internal Affairs Unit at the Department of Public Safety is investigating the incident as well but that is not a criminal investigation.  

Green is not assigned to the executive detail.  He merely works the front gate at the Governor's Mansion.  He does not drive anyone anywhere nor is he part of an entourage.  

Some on social media claimed the "boyfriend" was "friends" with the DPS Commissioner and called him from the scene but Commissioner Tindal said he does not know him.  The "victim" never called him and he "has the records to back it up." He said he told MBI to let the Rankin County Sheriff's Office handle the case since it involved a state trooper.   

Green is currently on administrative paid leave.  

Kingfish note:  In the absence of video or either "victim" filing a criminal complaint, it is difficult to see how law enforcement can prosecute the case.  

On a further note, Ivana Williams took strong issue with something reported earlier on JJ.  JJ reported on February 14: 

The former trooper already has filed an appeal with the Board over an earlier action.  Command transferred the trooper from Troop C (Rankin County area) to Troop D (Bolivar County) on January 2, 2024.  Despite the transfer, the trooper managed to make the Governor's Inaugural Ball the next evening. 

Law enforcement sources said Ms. Williams was at the ball.  If such was not the case, JJ will be more than happy to make the correction if notified of the error by Ms. Williams or her lawyer.

You may want to ask Tindell if he knows the person who "moved" the trooper car from his time working at the court of appeals. I am sure the phone records will tell the truth.

Why do cops ALWAYS leave their assigned vehicles running? Do they really think that saves them time when they have to chase a criminal. It is just another way to waste the public’s maney.

Pictures of the patrol car show it in a ditch next to a sign. It looks like it was more than "moved." Why couldn't he run away and call 911. Getting in a patrol car that is not your vehicle and driving it away is crazy.

Kingfish said...

Almost included it. He does not know the guy. The phone records back up there was no call from him. He checked and the guy clerked at the SUPREME Court while he was on the Court of Appeals. SO they were in the same building but worked for two different courts. Happy?

Kingfish said...

Considering he just had the **** scared out of him, not surprised.

Background investigations? We don't need no stinkin' background investigions. If he's a friend of Billy Bob, Boo, Bubba, or Cletus he's good to go.

10:46 yep....good ole boy system at its finest. Also, there was an IA division previously at dps and it used to report to the Col. of MHP. This "newly created" IA division that had been hammed up reports directly to Tindell. Maybe they will report to him what happened right?

I guess if you are scared it is ok to commandeer any vehicle around? I will keep that in mind next time I get the **** scared out of me and see if I end up in the county jail.

Kingfish said...

head of the new IA is Patrick Beasley. You want to go smear him? He's the guy who prosecuted the Irby case and took on the drug dealer RSS.

this is the sort of things that happen when you take people who are not fit to be shopping mall security guards and give them a gun , a badge , and a car that goes 140 mph.

Why is it troopers can’t stay out of trouble? Well, let me tell you. They’re not the tall, calm, resolute, square-jawed police we think they are. They’re instead, thugs now, roided-up bullies with a badge, tatted-up enforcers of the rule-making class. They don’t “put their lives on the line every day,” and they are not worthy of whatever respect you may have for them.

Woman: Hey big boy, wanna help me move furniture?

Big Boy: Sure lady, watcha got needs goin' where?

Woman: I gotta bed needs goin' up and down.

Point is, women can be very aggressive, though this is overlooked or denied.

Anonymous said...

Nobody mentioned Patrick Beasley and tried to smear him through the mud. I believe the point of 11:05 was that dps has had an IA division that reported to the Col. of MHP. Yes, Beasley was hired as the IA director and it was restructured to now report directly to Sean Tindell.

Never understood why so many people feel that the boys and girls in patent leather are the so called Special Forces of Law Enforcement. They don't do the job of a local cop or deputy and if they ever did, they have forgotten. He did violate the law by leaving his unit running and unattended. MS Code § 63-3-909

That's right, folks. Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

I am sure the neighbors also saw what was going on that night and can corroborate the "facts." Do you want to take bets on which statements are true?

He was worried about the other unit being driven inside

9:34 - I was told some years ago that all the electronics in a patrol vehicle need to stay powered up, thus the engine is left on. Also, all that extra equipment puts a tremendous strain on the battery when cranking. Is that true or just an excuse to keep the air conditioner running full blast?

KF, you ran a series on a MHP officer in North Ms who was after a guy for giving the finger.

How about an update?

MHP…when seconds count, they’re just minutes away

In the MHP oath, they pledge to enforce and OBEY the law! Why do they not obey the traffic laws?

Dude makes trooper pay to sit in the security shack? Nice.

Under the domestic violence law in Mississippi law enforcement SHALL make an arrest if there is signs of injury to the victim. So either there was no evidence of the wife being assaulted or the deputies decided since he was a trooper they would ignore the law. The victim in a domestic violence case does not have to file charges, they may not aide in the prosecution, but an arrest SHALL be made.

Dude, if a trooper c!@#k blocked me like that and I had Tindals number, I would have called too, told him to come get his guy

Anonymous said...

A personal incident, blown up by a dumbssa thinking he could do what he wanted (I’m not talking about the trooper). I’m sure every officer on scene can state that no car was blocked, no one was harmed… just stupid decisions made.

Anonymous said...

Maybe it’s important to add that the guy was more of embarrassed than afraid. He did it to get back at the trooper, not imagining he would report it stolen.

Anonymous said...

What was the trooper doing while this gentleman backed up the troopers car? Now is someone pulled a gun on me and I got away, I’d be sprinting and zig zagging down the street! If this trooper cared enough about his wife while they were on good terms and happy, he wouldn’t be stalking her!!! I know this young trooper will be ashamed and yes his peers will be talking about his dumb ignorant ass.

Anonymous said...

As suspected, there is another side to this story. Jody's car may not have been blocked in. Would make more of a case for charges to be brought against him for getting in that troopers car to "move" it. Now who does Jody actually know?

Jamel, it’s over with you and your wife, let it go! Your other girlfriends are gonna be mad with you!

12:30 can you please elaborate? He got in the troopers car and took off out of spite? What happened after that?

Meanwhile: Dan Mullen gives up his TV gig in order to coach the Rebels!

Y’all leave Jamel alone , I’ll bet my prize pig that Jamel ain’t the only Trooper stalking and doing this shigity! Grow up Troopers all women don’t want y’all! But them damn uniforms do look good! Some of y’all are battle ready and sharp as a tack!

The wildest part of this story for me is that the Internal Affairs* dept is NEW?
Dear God, if any state needs someone checking up on LEO it's us.

*not that I am naïve enough to think IA will ever be anything more than a do-nothing nepotism employment facility anyway

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.
