More on the Madison Carjacker










JJ obtained through a public records request the police report for the attempted carjacking in Madison reported in the Clarion-Ledger this week. Madison Municipal Court Judge Dale Danks took a break from a tanning bed session to set the bond for the suspect, a Mr. Marcus George, at $1.5 million. Mr. George didn't like this too much and his attorney, Ed Blackmon yes, the same Ed Blackmon who personally killed legislation protecting the lives of school children this year, appealed to Madison County Circuit Court. Judge William Chapman dropped his bond to $50,000.

The police reports state that the victim, a Bolton resident, left the Target store on County Line Road on May 6 at 8:50 PM and went to Madison to see her mother. She stopped at the Shell Station on Hwy 51 and continued to her mother's home. After she parked in her mother's driveway, the suspect, a black 37 year old black male allegedly "approached" her car with his hand wrapped in a blue and white towel. She thought it was a gun. He said "Get over in the passenger seat bitch now. Do what I say and you won't get hurt. Do what I say or I will kill you bitch!" He then "knocked her cellphone out of her hand" but the victim had had enough as she kneed him in the bollocks and pushed the gun away. She said he could have the purse and the car but she had a daughter (Police report does not say daughter was in car so for our purposes we will assume mother was probably caring for the daughter and victim was picking her up.). The victim's mother came outside, startling the suspect. He ran and jumped into a waiting car that sped away.

The police then did something not seen much in Jackson: they had investigators come out and "lift fingerprints". You read that correctly. The two ladies provided descriptions of the suspect who was subsequently arrested. By the way, the Clarion-Ledger has the same police report. Article

CL story:

A Canton man accused of kidnapping and attempted carjacking in Madison is out of jail after his $1.5 million bond was reduced by almost 97 percent.

Madison County Circuit Court Judge William Chapman dropped the bond for Marcus George, 36, to $50,000 in a hearing Tuesday.

State Rep. Ed Blackmon Jr., George's attorney, called the hearing on a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to obtain bond, a routine matter.

He would not comment further.

"It does my client no good," he said.

George, charged in the May 6 crime in the Cobblestone neighborhood of Madison, was released on the $50,000 bond Tuesday after the hearing.

In the petition filed in Circuit Court on May 13, Blackmon said the bond was "unreasonable, unconstitutional and tantamount to no bond at all."

The petition asked for a "reasonable and not excessive" bond.

Chapman, in court documents, found George's petition to be "well taken and should be sustained."

George was arrested on May 10.

Madison police said he allegedly followed a woman to a Madison home after she shopped in north Jackson and stopped at a Ridgeland gas station. The woman told police a man carrying a gun approached her car after she stopped in back of the house belonging to her mother.

During a tussle inside the car, the woman pushed the gun away and kneed the man, causing the car horn to blow, according to the police report. Her mother came out, and the man ran away.

Madison police said detectives used a computer program to develop a facial sketch from the woman's description and compared that to a criminal database, which led to George's arrest.

Madison Municipal Court Judge Dale Danks Jr., who set the original bond, defended his decision last month.

"You have to examine the nature of the crime," he told The Clarion-Ledger. "While I can't talk about the case, it, in fact, carries a charge of carjacking with a weapon and attempted kidnapping.

"And that's pretty serious."

Serious enough to get out of the tanning bed, eh? :)

Pat on the back to Capt. Tan for the $1.5 million bond. Should of stuck.

That was a serious crime. If he did it, and is found guilty he likewise should SERIOUS time.

I would hope that I would have the presence of mind this victim did, who showed him that his plan was not going to go down as he had planned.

Don't begrudge a man his tan, people. Dale has his own tanning bed, anyway. I wonder does Obama tax your personal tanning bed too.

And when I commented on the CL website about how they did not make an arrest based on the composite alone, the everybody's-innocent crowd tried to scorch me. This proves, again, the CL isn't worth the ink wasted on in printing it.

Got carjacked (and kidnapped) at the Shell across the street from Sal & Phil's on Old Canton Road in 2001...no fingerprint attempts from Ridgeland PD.

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.
