Hinds County Catch & Release Star Graduates to Madison County Justice

 Madison-Rankin District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement. 

Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Bubba Bramlett announced today that Samantha Lombardi, of Jackson, pled guilty to possession with the intent to sell more than ten but less than thirty grams of methamphetamine and was sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Dewey Arthur to serve twenty-five years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

In February 2025, Ridgeland Police Department began an undercover investigation into prostitution and drug sales occurring at Ridgeland area hotels. The undercover officer and Lombardi agreed to meet at the Staybridge Suites where Lombardi believed she would be engaging in prostitution and selling the individual methamphetamine. When she arrived, she was taken into custody and found to be in possession of various drugs including methamphetamine, PCP, liquid codeine, ecstasy pills, and marijuana.



In lieu of waiting on the crime lab to test all the suspected controlled substances, Lombardi elected to waive grand jury presentment and plead guilty to possession of methamphetamine with the intent to sell. At the time of her arrest, Lombardi was on three years of non-adjudicated probation for a robbery charge out of Hinds County.

District Attorney Bramlett stated, “Ms. Lombardi believed she was going to sell drugs and sexual services at a Madison County hotel. Instead, she encountered the Street Crimes Unit of the Ridgeland Police Department. This Unit is dedicated to investigating the drug dealers, drug users, prostitutes, and other criminals seeking to conduct their illegal business in Ridgeland. We commend the hard work of the Ridgeland Police Department in their work to identify criminal activity and apprehend those responsible.”




Kingfish note: Check out Lombardi's record in Hinds County. 

* Indicted in August 23 for embezzlement.  The indictment alleged she failed to return a vehicle to someone.  The case was remanded to file.  

* The Hinds County grand jury indicted her in April 24 for larceny: grand car theft, conspiracy, armed robbery with a firearm, burglary of a building other than a dwelling, and robbery with a firearm.  She received but a slap on the wrist:

Yall temper your hate and criticism for her. She was a sex trafficked child prostitute. None of you have any idea what she has been through and how damaged she will forever be.

If true why did she receive such a long sentence? Maybe because Bubba is fixin' to run for AG?

Prayers for her. May she get the help she needs.

Actually no . First degree usually gets life. 2nd degree usually gets 20-30 years in Hinds, not counting suspended part of sentences.

That's what happens when you step off the Hinds County non-adjudication island.

Mama didn’t you tell Samantha to stay in the Hinds County Jurisdiction., ” Yes, I did”! I will talk to the New Mayor about putting more visible signs up saying Leaving Hinds County! Thank you doll.

No ED blue pills among drugs found on her, nor penicillin, so perhaps not an angel of mercy.

When will thugs figure out that they should stay in Hinds County?

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.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
