Continuing the Downward Spiral

 Dow Yoder reached another new low.  



Yours truly is tired of reporting his history every time he gets in trouble.  Read about his past problems with the law here.

Did I miss something that we become a communist country? I thought this was America?

What are you talking about

You know, you post some important information that, in many cases, alot of people wouldn't see or know about and that's good. But to chronicle this guy's failure, dude. It really starts to invalidate all of the practical journaling that you do. Just remember, we're all a slip away from failure, misfortune and I'm sure it's pretty hard to go through. But to know someone is presenting it for others to see and critique (no matter who it is), is a bit sickening. Be better than that. And if you're tired of doing it, maybe you shouldn't be doing it at all.

I don't see what he's arrested for.

He needs help maybe some churches could help him him

You don't say anything when I write about the Fondren Firebug or the Downtown Smasher. This guy has become an actual menace in the Fondren and Belhaven areas. Strong suspect in the Y burning. I publish these posts to alert community about them and to bring it to the attention of law enforcement ,prosecutors, and the courts. The fact this guy was a federal and Madison County prosecutor as well as a candidate for COA is merely window dressing. I'd be writing about him if he was an unknown bum. In this case, he's just turned himself into a known bum.

Family can only do so much if the person doesn’t want help or refuses to cooperate. The law doesn’t allow family members to put the person in rehab against his wishes. It’s a difficult process to have someone involuntarily committed, and often not a realistic option.

"I'd be writing about him if he was an unknown bum."

Bullshit. I'm sure the police blotters across the state of Mississippi have MANY "bums" being arrested for similar infractions. You are going to run out of ink before you get carpal tunnel, KF.

Agreed. Enough is enough.

Unknown said...

People who say KF shouldn’t post this are nuts. This guy is dangerous and is known to panhandle in Fondren. Particularly people he knew when he was a lawyer. Every mugshot posted is a public service so people will know what he looks like and what he’s been up to. Plus if this embarrasses him into going somewhere else when he gets out, all the better. Finally, unless you donate to keep this site running, stfu.

Kingfish said...

Bullshit yourself. Look up Banks and Higgins on this website. Banks was going around to all the businesses in downtown Jackson and smashing out their windows. Higgins like to set t things on fire. They all benefitted from catch and release.

KF, Thanks for the Dow updates.
Those of us who know him (or the old Dow at least) are praying without ceasing and sincerely hope for his redemption.
Thanks again and I look forward to a positive update. Jesus still saves!

Hey August 15, 2026 at 6:30 PM, kudos and God bless. I don't know him, but you are right. Prayers for him. Also thanks Kingfish for posting.

I've told the Gold Fish a hundred times to stop with posting as anonymous. The bullshit is too obvious, notwithstanding the denials.

KF’s reporting on Dow serves as a vivid reminder that addiction and everything that eventually goes with it does not respect education or status.

We’re all eligible.

Why did the DA decide not to prosecute him for burning Yana? Thats what KF should report on.

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.

Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. 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. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
