Catch & Release! Squawk! Catch & Release! Accused Killer Free to Carjack (Updated)

 Update: A Jackson Municipal Court judge denied bond for Jones.  A police officer's affidavit states: 

A video making the round shows the carjacking of a man that took place in Jackson this week. 



JPD managed to catch one of the carjackers, Damarion Jones.  Good job, JPD. 



It will not surprise anyone to learn Jones is no stranger to the Hinds County criminal justice system.  It will also not surprise anyone - unfortunately - to learn Jones was free on bond after being indicted for capital murder.  You can't make this up. 

A Hinds County grand jury indicted Jones for not one, but two counts of capital murder in September 2023. 



Jones was first denied bond.  However, Circuit Judge Adrienne Wooten set bond at $700,000 ($350K per count) in July 2024.  Jones posted bond. 


Jones managed to get himself arrested again after he failed to appear in court for a hearing and Judge Wooten issued a bench warrant in March 2025.  She recalled the warrant on April Fool's Day and allowed him to remain free on bond.  

Jones's trial, although repeatedly continued, is set for January 19. Attorney Maegen Mannis represents the defendant.

Why is Tate Reeves not lobbying Trump or our worthless house & senate delegation to make Metrocenter into a supermax prison? Make it hell on earth and fill it up. They let these animals go and cite "prison overcrowding", well that can be fixed.

Car was left running?

I suppose we have the Jody Owens pay-for-play system to thank for this guy's bond and continuations

@10:23 Right...as much as we frown upon victim blaming, I never understand why people leave cars running. See it all the time - play stupid games, win stupid prizes

@10:23am - Yeah, the victim was just asking for it. Just like women that wear revealing clothing are asking to be raped.

A state court of some type with state appointed judges needs to be set up in Jackson/Hinds county along with some type of jail that is state ran. Just like the water system takeover and the creation of the Capitol Police, Jackson/Hinds county can't handle the court system nor provide enough jail space for the number of criminals there. Keep doing the same thing, keep getting the same results.

MagnaVolt security system would cure that problem permanently.

That kind of judiciary really makes one want to buy a Prado loft.

He NEVER would had been out on bail in Madison or rankin county. This crap only happens in hinds county.

It's called Pay the Judge. Over the years, based on similar cases, it's obvious the judge has been paid.

It just amazes me how and where these fools get monies to bail out such high bonds. I have deep pockets but not for bond!
3:03pm I totally agree. I also stay clear of Jackson! I try to get early appointments at the Jackson VA while these cockroaches are asleep!

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.
