Fondren Firebug Back in Jail

 Update: Higgins is now in MDOC custody at CMCF.

JJ reported yesterday Todd Higgins remained free to steal and vandalize his way through the Fondren area when he was sentenced to three years in prison back in December.  Thankfully, Higgins is now off the street but it remains to be seen whether MDOC will come get its boy.  


Higgins is well known to local law enforcement.  PD arrested Higgins in May 2020 for arson and allegedly threatening to kill the homeowner.  Jackson Municipal Court Judge Jeff Reynolds set his bond at $500,000 in an effort to keep him from committing more mischief.  

The Hinds County grand jury indicted him for third degree arson later that year.  The case was assigned to Hinds County Circuit Judge Adrienne Wooten.  

Higgins pleaded guilty to the indictment in September 2021.  Judge Wooten sentenced him to serve 3 years in prison but suspended 361 days of the sentence and gave him credit for time served.  She ordered him released from jail that day and ordered him placed under supervised release for all of one year.  After gaining his freedom, Higgins returned to doing what he does best: being stupid.  

PD arrested Higgins again in January 2024 for burglarizing a vehicle at North Mart Plaza.  A Jackson Municipal Court Judge set his bond at $2,500.  

Undeterred by his arrest, Higgins struck again in February when he allegedly stole two handicapped bicycles from Independence Living.   The Capitol Police charged him with grand larceny since the bikes were valued at $5,000.  Judge McDaniels set his bond at $50,000.  

The Hinds County grand jury indicted Higgins for grand larceny in May: 


The police arrested Higgins a few months later in June for allegedly breaking into Q-Customs on I-55 by  smashing the front window with a brick and stealing several items.  JPD charged him with burglary of a business.  A Jackson Municipal Court Judge set his bond at $25,000.  

Higgins pleaded guilty to the grand larceny indictment in December 2024.  Special Circuit Judge Barry Ford  sentenced him to serve five years in prison but suspended two years of the sentence, giving him credit for time served.  He is to serve two years of supervised probation upon release.  


Higgins went right back to work as he made the most of his um, free time.  Social media posts after April 30 state: 



JJ erroneously reported yesterday MDOC released Higgins.  The MDOC website stated: 



The reason why Higgins was not in MDOC custody was not because MDOC released Higgins but rather because Higgins never arrived at MDOC.   MDOC posted his profile after it received his paperwork from Hinds County and used an older picture of him for the website posting.  However, Higgins never made it to MDOC despite being sentenced to serve three years in prison.  

Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones said JPD picked Higgins up on April 7.  However, there was nothing in NCIC so he was released.  There was no detainer on Higgins.  

Capitol Police arrested Higgins on June 3 for malicious mischief.  JJ is trying to get more information on the arrest.  Capitol Police set his bond at $1,420.   Sheriff Jones said MDOC has a hold on him as does his probation officer.  However, if they do not come get their boy within 21 days, he will be released if he posts bond.

What a friggin' joke. If he had torched a politician's property he would have been arrested immediately.

Who is posting his bail? They should be held responsible for his actions while out on bail.

A parolee stole a car from my father. I started by calling the probation officer and probably went all the way up to Chris Epps who may have been a criminal but was the only person at MDOC who would respond to anything.

Thanks KF said...

It's very likely that this post made a difference in getting this turd back in MDOC custody.

Nothing works like some public embarassment.

They work for the state but can't decide whether to wind their watches or scratch their butts!

Is it just me or does it chap anyone else's ass that these criminals get arrested / convicted over and over and over and over and over and over and over, etc., yet they spend MUCH more time OUT of jail than they do in jail? What the hell? Why HAVE a justice system if no justice is meted on these scumbags? Arrest them, try them, convict them, jail them. That's a pretty simple, 4-step process. We, the general public, should benefit from the proper application of the judicial system; however, it seems like the criminals always seem to benefit more than we do!

If those two mugshots were actually taken at the date of each arrest, they're a powerful illustration of just how fast meth can age a person. In just four months, the guy went from 'Thirst-trap-webcammer gorgeous', to 'Faces of Meth'.

Four months, is roughly the time it took, during the Holocaust, for concentration camp survivors to go from 'Healthy 19-year-old in Budapeszt' to 'presumed-elderly walking skeleton, upon Liberation'.

Four months of Meth, would seem equivalent to four months as a prisoner in a DEATH FACTORY.

So... how do these guys get started? Psychotropic drugs prescribed after a 'Teen Mental Health Month' initiative? Weed?

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.
