Confidential informants provided the FBI with a window into the drug-dealing culture of Jackson.
A federal grand jury indicted Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Mayor Lumumba, and City Councilman Aaron Banks on public corruption charges in 2023. Former Councilwoman Angelique Lee and insurance mogul Marve Smith pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit bribery in 2023 as well. Owens filed a motion to dismiss with a supporting memorandum and 47 exhibits Monday in U.S. District Court. The Justice Department almost immediately asked U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan, III to seal the filing the same day, claiming it violated a protective order. Judge Jordan granted the request and sealed the filings the next day but not before most of the local media downloaded the motion and the supporting exhibits. One exhibit included some allegations against the Mayor and Ward 3 Councilman Kenneth I. Stokes.Posted below is an FBI report of information received from confidential informants. Keep in mind the information is unverified and unconfirmed. Tonarri Moore is probably one of the informants since he was a known informant for the Fibbers. He is serving four years in federal prison for being a felon with a firearm. Polo Edwards was another FBI informant although it is not known if he was the source for some of this information. The point is take the report with a grain of salt as it includes testimony from people who themselves were up to no good and might have been trying to score points with the feds by any means possible.
It is known that Moore ran a nightclub off Northside Drive several years ago. There was reputed to be an unlicensed strip club on the second floor.
This report was compiled in August 2017.
Oddly enough, Tonarri Moore was arrested in Madison County for possessing a firearm and possessing a stolen weapon. Mayor Lumumba showed up with him at his bond hearing. Attorney John Reeves represented Moore.

Did the unlicensed strip club have a champagne room? Because the rules are that there is no sex allowed in the champagne room (there always is though)
If anyone else is wondering, CHS = confidential human source
They could have based The Wire in Jackson, but it would have been tough to make the detective work believable.
Knowing what the general population looks like, I can't imagine going into a strip club in Jackson. I could stay home and be nauseated and it wouldn't cost a penny.
Attorney John Reeves. What a scumbag.
Well Lumumba wanted a "NEW RADICAL CITY"!!!! I guess he got it!!!!
Gonna take this with a grain a salt, but funny to read lol
This whole shit show reminds me of the movie Hoodlum where Redmond says that Valley got that boy Jimmy to put rat poison in Bumpy Jonhson's split.

Say what you will about the possible inaccuracies of the various CHS statements, but the fact is that at least one of the Mayor Lumumbas did speak on the record as an attorney for at least one of these criminals concerning the Upper Level and some of the various associated legal goings on.
