Belhaven crime update

From an email sent by Greater Belhaven to its members this week:
"Belhaven Heights neighbors on Jefferson Street report that this Saturday, a white minivan drove by their house with two young black males. The guys asked some questions about whether the house was for rent, then drove away, returning a couple of minutes later. One of the males (approx. 5'10", 170 lbs, with corn rows) approached the neighbors on the front porch and demanded the husband’s wallet at gunpoint. The wife yelled and hit the guy over the head with a piece of wood, and he ran away. JPD officers responded and told the neighbors that this method (pulling up to ask questions, leaving and then returning soon after to try to hold up the homeowner) has been used before. So, as I said last week – be careful out there, and please call JPD and Securitas to report any suspicious persons in the neighborhood!"

Meanwhile, over at WLBT, a Belhaven resident questions the police sketch of suspect. WLBT story

Very impressed with the hitting over the head with a piece of wood....not the safest thing to do....but impressed anyway! Kudos to the wife. (Husband take note and behave).

The WLBT story identifies the victim questioning the police sketch as an Eastover resident.

yeah I know but I think they have been claiming its the same suspect for bother areas. Its not like they aren't next to each other.

Belhaven and Eastover are next to each other????? Heard a couple was held up at gunpoint after leaving the bar at SalMookies the other night.

Belhaven isn't next to Eastover!

Kingfish said...

Eastover ends at Lakeland and I55. Belhaven starts at Woodrow and I55. I'd say that makes them adjacent.

Eastover -- the subdivision, not the street -- ends at Ridgewood Road on the west.

I believe Belhaven Heights--which is where the crime is reported to have been--begins at Fortification moving South.

Regardless of neighborhood boundaries, if this sucker(s) shows up at my door, his gun better be loaded because mine already is.

These 2 subdivisions aren't even close to each other. But I agree, keep the guns loaded! (and locked away from kids, of course).

Whoever guns the guy down should get an award.

Jackson needs some bounty hunters to come in and take control of these thugs. With the unemployment rate as high as it is, you would think there would be quite a demand for a paying occupation such as this. Anyone want to suit up and make some cash?

Y'all just need some midnight basketball programs. That's all.

I had a black male pull up in front of my house yesterday evening in a honda civic. He was a skinny guy - didn't match the suspect's description, but I didn't take any chances. I saw him get out of his car at the end of my driveway, so I got my shotgun (which yesterday I said was loaded and it was) and went to the front door. He has already knocked and was walking away when I opened the door. He turned around and asked if I needed my brush piles hauled off (in a civic?) and I told him that it was the garbage mens' job to do that. He said ok, and then walked back to his car and left.

He didn't see the shotgun, but it was in my left hand the entire time. Afterwards, I kind of wished he would have pulled a weapon on me. He was about 10 yards away, so my spread would have been about the size of a softball (still have my turkey choke on). 3" mag will do some serious damage at that range. Oh well... maybe next time.

Your last paragraph is hilarious, 11:14. Kudos for your honesty lol.. I think lots of us are 'ready'.

I've got my .38 ready too in case anyone wants to try a home invasion in order to steal my two $35 Banana Republic rings. Of course, they'll first have to get through the dogs.

Pistols are good for chasing, but I like the increased fear factor that the intended criminal has to endure from seeing a pump shotgun loaded and pointed at them - not to mention the increased probability of hitting more than one target with a single shot.

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.
