Copper-Thieving Crum Bums Caught

 JPD issued the following statement. 

On February 5, 2026, husband and wife team, 46-year-old Nicholas Crum and 42-year- old Lillia Crum, (residents of Jackson), were arrested on charges of Felony Grand Larceny and Felony Malicious Mischief after stealing AT&T copper wiring valuing over five thousand dollars and causing over ten thousand dollars in damage of electrical components in the areas of Belvedere Drive, Monterey Street and Cummins Street in Jackson.

The Crum’s appeared before a Municipal Court Judge today and each received a $500K bond, ($250K bond for Felony Grand Larceny and $250K for Felony Malicious Mischief).

Kingfish note: What do you know, the Crum bum is a graduate of the Hinds County Catch & Release program. 

MBN arrested darling little Nikki in March 2025: 


Hinds County Court Judge Johnny McDaniels gave him a chance to straighten himself out in June: 

Bond in this case shall be in the amount of $5,000 UNSECURED, on the condition that Mr. Crum be admitted to Care Center Ministries for the term of not less than Six (6) months to ONE (1) Year to receive drug rehabilitation treatment. Further, Mr. Crum must complete the Care Center Ministries course, abide by all rules and regulations of the facility, and acknowledge the court periodically with updates. Failure to comply or complete the full course will result in a revocation of bond, and the defendant shall be returned to a NO BOND status.

JPD arrested him again in December for possession of paraphernalia.   So much for Care Center Ministries.  

The Crum Bumette managed to get in trouble as well.  JPD arrested her in March 2025 for possession of burglary tools.  The detective's affidavit states: 

Did willfully, unlawfully and feloniously at 4596 Clinton Blvd Jackson MS 39209 possess pry bars, screw drivers, bolt cutters and large knives, and wrenches instruments designed to aiq. the commission of burglary by cutting copper from the ceiling at a the business and removing the copper..

The copper belonged to the Billups-Garth Foundation.

A Jackson Municipal Court judge set her bond at $15,000, ordered her to undergo screening for alcohol and drug treatment, wear a GPS monitor for three months, and get Judge Kidd to approve her enrollment in drug court.  

Obviously, such measures did not work.

She’s taller then he is? She must be the one who gets the high wires.

He’s to blame for the arrest. He’ll get an ass kicking when she gets him home!

So those two could show up at a scrap dealer’s office with a truckload of copper and no suspicions were raised?

That’s Crystal, she’s a Methodist.

I would be surprised if any of that copper wire is still being used. They have decommissioned most of the switching equipment that uses copper. AT&T cut over to fiber optics in all regions 10 years ago. You can’t even get a landline phone without internet now because the infrastructure for POTS landline phones is gone now. Only VoIP over internet is available. And they only install fiber optic or 5G internet now in homes. But I guess AT&T are recycling that copper wire themselves.

There should be some sort of government program to help these two to get off drugs

Why is his bail so much higher than hers? Is it because shes a woman?

11:03 copper thieves do not go to scrap dealers. By law, scrap dealers are required to collect information, copy drivers licenses, detail the type of scrap, and snap a photo of anyone selling certain metals, including copper. There's no way they could drop off AT&T line and get away with it. Copper thieves have their own ways of moving it.

Since AT&T are no longer using the cooper are you saying it okay for people to steal it?

The state should place them in rehab if they can’t afford it then the state needs help pay for it

Their troubles started with the cannabis gateway drug after watching Reefer Madness. It's the science.

That’s a rough 42 years old.

No I never said or even implied that. Stop projecting your mental illness onto me.

There is a government funded rehab called Whitfield. You have to be court ordered to go there.

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.
