All Death Occurs From Heart Failure, But What Caused The Heart Of Dewayne Chatt To Fail?

I have not seen the report but I'm told that a local TV station is reporting that Dewayne Chatt died from heart failure. If this is true you mean to tell me that a smart reporter would not know that no matter how the deaths occurs it was due to heart failure. In fact death cannot happen until the heart fails.

The question should have been what caused Dewayne Chatt's heart to fail. Could it have been from the electrical shock of the taser numerous times, combined with gasping for breath after being peppered sprayed,and being kick and stomped while laying helpless on the floor as seen in 1:26 of the Dodge Store surveillance tape shown by ACTION NEWS5.

The Taser causes the muscles of one's body to violently contract after being tased, Duh, The HEART IS A MUSCLE.When 50,000 volts of electricity from a Taser surge across the body, it can instantly incapacitate a person .

But cardiologists are concerned that, in certain cases, the device might also interrupt the rhythm of the human heart, throwing it into a potentially fatal chaotic state known as ventricular fibrillation.

Rather than pump blood in sequence through its four chambers, a heart in ventricular fibrillation writhes uncontrollably, wiggling like a bag of worms. It is a common cause of sudden death.
Dr. Zian Tseng, a cardiologist at UCSF, believes Tasers are potentially dangerous because a jolt of electricity, at just the right moment in the heartbeat cycle, can trigger ventricular fibrillation.
He ought to know. He uses a precisely timed jolt to throw the hearts of his patients into ventricular fibrillation on a regular basis.

Tseng installs implantable electric defibrillators into the chests of heart patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac arrest. The devices are miniature versions of the electric paddles used to jolt a stalled heart back into its proper rhythm. Vice President Dick Cheney is the most prominent American with such a device implanted in his chest.

Before Tseng can wheel a patient out of the operating room, he must test the new defibrillator by stopping the heart, and watching to see if the life- saving implant does its job.
"There are vulnerable periods in the cardiac cycle, when shocks can cause dangerous arrhythmias,'' Tseng said.

Known as a T-wave on the heart monitor, the brief pause in pumping takes up about 3 percent of a heartbeat's cycle. Tseng times his jolt of electricity for that moment, to stop a heart, so the defibrillator can automatically start it again.

People using Tasers, he said, risk jolting a person at precisely the wrong instant. "I think they are dangerous,'' he said. "If you are shocking someone repeatedly, it becomes a bit like Russian roulette. At some point, you may hit that vulnerable period." Cardiologists also know that the window in which a jolt of electricity can halt a heart expands significantly when a patient is treated with certain drugs, or when the body is flooded with the fear hormone, adrenaline. Patients with underlying heart problems are also more vulnerable to the condition.

While it may be true that Dewayne Chatt died from heart failure, what caused his heart to fail? Simple answer police abuse by the West Memphis Police Department. I wonder when the WMPD will address the fact that officers can clearly be seen kicking and stomping this man?

John Elkington Defaults On $5,900,000 Loan Where City Property May Have Been Used As Collateral

On April 16,2008 John Elkington received a Notice Of Default from Sun Life Financial on the $5,900,000 loan that he guaranteed for the building of the Lee's Landing Garage located at Beale and Second Streets. The note is secured by a deed of trust and security agreement (the mortgage) and by an assignment of leases and rents.

As of the time that Elkington received the letter the note for Febraury 1,2008 had not been paid. The notice stated that he had 5 days after receipt of the letter to pay the monthly installment payment,escrow payment, and all other amounts due under the loan agreement or Sun Life may exercise remedies such as declaring the remaining unpaid principal balance and accrued interest to be immediately due and payable,as well as foreclosing.

The interest that the citizens of Memphis should have in this matter is the issue of the leases and rents used to secure the loan. It is very strongly believed that the leases and rents that were used are the leases and rents of the Historic Beale Street District. As the CEO of Performa the management company that operates the district Elkington has control of the leases,and has power to assign if it serves the best interest of Beale Street.

The Herenton Administration has allowed Elkington to operate in the dark giving no accountability of funds.In fact the Herenton Administration has allowed Elkington not to pay the city one dime in 25 years from the rents and profits of the historic district. I must remind you that Elkington was hired by Beale Street Development Corporation to manage the district,and that it was BSDC that secured the financing to develop the street in the 70's. BSDC and the city are co-grantees on the funds secured by the Federal government and are tied at the hip.

The agreement with the City and BSDC is that for 52 years the non-profit would have control of the leases, this was due to the fact that at the time the funds were secured for development the city had no matching funds to provide so the city put up the land. BSDC was required by then mayor Wyeth Chandler to hire his law clerk John Elkington to manage the street with him collecting the rents taking out his percentage and turning over the rest to BSDC,who in turn would take out there monthly operating cost and turn the rest over to the city. The city has never received a cent because Elkington has turned over any money. But Elkington receives 10.5 % of gross rental inome and 5% of all the building income he leases. The city may not be getting paid but Elkington certainly is.

The City Council should in the interest of this city ask for a full disclosure of whether Elkington has used City property to secure this loan and if the city is in danger of losing Beale Street property in this default. Since it's known that developer E.W. Moon is connected to the Garage and his relationship with Willie Herenton is being looked at the council should also ask for disclosure of partners if in fact city property has been used to secure a loan for nearly $6,000,000,

The old council in the latter part of 2007 started to look at what was going on on Beale Street even calling for an forensic audit which has not taken place. Since the city is in such dire need for money why hasn't the new council looked into the dealings on Beale and why hasn't John Elkington been made to give account of where the money is going on Beale since merchants are paying rents and he' getting paid? The question may also need to be asked how is it that former City Attorney Robert Spence is now the attorney for John Elkington who is being sued by BSDC to get the funds due for but it's organization and the city.

West Memphis Cop Seen Stomping Dewayne Chatt In Video Provided To ACTION NEWS 5

ACTION NEWS 5 aired a portion of surveillance tape that West Memphis Police wanted the public to see from the Dodge store in West Memphis where Dewayne Chatt was tasered several times and according to witnesses at the scene choked and pepper sprayed. Jason Miles reporting for 5 eluded to the fuzzy cell phone video that I posted along with them being aired Sunday night on FOX13, But the video shows more than what was seen by Action NEWS 5.

The question is why didn't WMPD release all of the tape. There are surveillance cameras in the hall way,which would have shown what took place in the hall. Why didn't WMPD show Chatt being dragged and peppered sprayed? The answer is very simple WMPD had to respond to the video released by myself and FOX 13. The video shown by ACTION NEWS 5 gives no audio and only shows Chatt with his hands in the air backing away from a man holding a taser in his hand. Could Chatt had wanted to surrender and feared being tased by a rookie cop?

Bob Paudert Chief of Police for WMPD states that he stands by his men who are still on duty even though a man is dead,and that he invites an investigation if one is warranted,which means that presently there is no investigation going on. Paudert also states that his men followed policy, but according to there policy guidelines policy was violated.

Chapter 7-Section 4 of the WMPD Policy And Procedures speaks of Specialized Non-Deadly Weapons, which I think a taser would be and states that only a Special Response Team member has authorization to posses and use and can only be utilized by directions of a Commander. Samuel Malone seen in the video is neither.

That same section of the policy makes reference to the tazer and states that it can be used with the approval of a supervisor. The question is did Samuel Malone get approval from a supervisor before pulling the tazer on a man who had only committed a misdemeanor by fleeing from a police officer?

Chapter 7-Section 1 states that 'The carrying of the Taser will be authorized for Police Officers trained and certified by Taser instructors" So does Samuel Malone have his Taser Cerification? The policy guidelines goes on to state "if the Taser was used against a suspect MEDICAL PERSONNEL should be utilized in removing the probes from the suspect if they have penetrated the skin surface" It goes on to state that "If at the time of deployment the officer determines that the suspect should be quickly removed from the scene, he/she may either take the suspect away and have the probes removed by MEDICAL PERSONNEL or remove them himself"

From the video I posted it can be clearly seen that there was no need to quickly remove Dewayne Chatt because he was barely alive and was not moving. Witnesses at the scene state that WMPD left the probes at the Dodge Store and that employees threw the probes away. But the policy states "All Taser probes retrieved from suspects will be taken and entered into evidence along with the spent cartridge. If the probes have penetrated the skin surface of a suspect the evidence will be marked as a bio-hazard and treated as such".

The portion of the policy that really shows that the officers violated policy is the section dealing with IMPACT WEAPONS. The probes from the Taser impacts the body of a suspect which allows the volts to enter the body so surely the Taser has to be defined as a Impact Weapon. The policy states "Any suspect who has been struck with ANY IMPACT WEAPON will be evaluated to determine if injuries are present". The question still remains why wasn't medical personnel called to treat Chatt.

ACTION NEWS 5 in there rush to out do FOX13 missed some very important questions, like where is the rest of the tape, was Samuel Malone certified to use the Taser, But most of all in looking at the store tape, WHY WHEN THE DOOR WAS OPENED DID THE OFFICERS NOT GIVE CHATT THE CHANCE TO SURRENDER BEFORE IMMEDIATELY POUNCING ON HIM? Where the officers so angry for having to wait for someone to open the office that they decided that when the door to the very small office opened that Chatt would pay dearly for making them wait? Well Chatt did pay......With his life.


The tape shown by ACTION NEWS 5 also shows police abuse, if you look at the portion of the tape where officers come into the dark office you can briefly see an officer stomping and kicking Dewayne Chatt........I guess thats a part of the policy.

WATCH THE TAPE CLOSELY AT 1:26 OF THE TAPE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT WHEN THE DOOR TO THE OFFICE IS OPENED THAT DEWAYNE CHATT IS LAYING ON THE FLOOR AND A OFFICER IS SEEN STOMPING AND KICKING HIM

BREAKING NEWS: Witnesses Say Another Fleeing Suspect Tazed And Beaten By West Memphis Police

This just in, Witnesses in west Memphis are reporting that a man fleeing police who had stolen a car was tased and beaten by West Memphis police in the SteepleChase Apartments. This is the same location where 12 year old DeAunta Farrow was murdered by police last year. Witnesses state that when the man who was running was captured a officer identified as Phillip Bailey was seen stomping and kicking the man who had already been tased.

The Lies Keep Coming From The West Memphis Police Department

Bob Paudert Chief of Police in West Memphis in an interview with FOX13 stated that after Dewayne Chatt arrived at the Crittenden County Jail that he again resisted arrest. But Thomas Martin in that same interview states that there was no struggle when Chatt arrived, So why is Paudert lieing?

What type of department is Paudert running where basically all the murders ino West Memphis are committed by the police including officers leaving the city and chasing a person into memphis and shooting him to death. There were several department policies that were violated when Dewayne Chatt was shoot which I will post tonight including gathering up the taser pins that were shot into Chatt that were thrown away by Dodge Store employees

THE INTERVIEW...http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=6387436&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1

Video Shows How West Memphis Man Was Treated By West Memphis Police

">Dewayne Chatt was found dead late Thursday night in the Crittenden County jail after being tased, choked,and peppered sprayed by several West Memphis police officers. Chatt who suffered from a mental break down and who was on record with the West Memphis Police as a mental patient was standing outside the 15th Street C.O.G.I.C when rookie cop Samuel Malone rode down on him.

Chatt who family members state has not been taking his medicine took out running and ran to the Dodge Store on Broadway stating to employees that the police wanted to kill him. The police report states that when Malone spotted Chatt standing outside the church he had a foreign object in his hands. The foreign object turned out to be a pair of shades

Dewayne Chatt was tased inside the store by Malone,by was able to run into an office at the rear of the store and locked himself in. There have been reports that Chatt knocked the door in, in fact Chatt was charged with commercial burglary for entering the office. This report is totally wrong the door to the office is a heavy metal door, and had Chatt kicked the door in the West Memphis Police would not have had to wait 30 minutes for the store manager to arrive and let them in.

Witnesses state that after the door was opened that Chatt was tased again several times and peppered sprayed. Witnesses also state that Chatt was struck and choked by the officers while in handcuffs.

The video from a cell phone that I have posted on this site and on You Tube was taken by a person inside the Dodge Store when the incident was happening. That person lives here in Memphis and I traveled with two of Chatt's sisters on Saturday to find the person so that there could be a public record of the incident. After finding the person and viewing the various scenes we could not transfer the video from the cell phone. I contacted Fox 13 who shot the scenes on camera and provided the family and myself copies. Fox 13 will air a story on the video tonight on their news cast.

As you view the video that can now be viewed around the world who hear the witness speaking of the way that Dewayne Chatt is being tased. You also will the witness stating that Chatt is being choked by the West Memphis police. You will hear the witness state how Chatt has lost control of his bowels, which likely from the numerous times that he was tased which forces a person to lose control of one's muscles.

On the video you hear after he has been tased numerous times, choked, and peppered sprayed a officer telling Chatt to "Come on get on up" several times. You hear him choking,and you see him being drugged by police officers. But what you really see is the need for medical attention of which he does not get. You see that he is unable to walk on his on and is being held up by police as that take him to a squad car. In fact what you see is the brutal work of the West Memphis Police.

Dewayne Chatt according to his family had a mental break down several years ago and has not been taking his medicine properly, but until recently was still trying to maintain a job at The Family Dollar Store. The family also says that Chatt was once shot and still has a bullet in his neck that at times would swell up pressing against a nerve in his neck.

It is no doubt that Dewayne Chatt is dead due to his treatment by West Memphis Police. Chatt had committed no crime where police would have a reason to confront him. If the crime is loitering should this man be dead just for standing in front of a church?

Should police have chased him just for loitering? Since West Memphis police knew his history the family states that they have papers on file with the department, why wasn't some one trained in mental illness brought to the scene? And most of all why was no ambulance called and why did Crittenden County jail allow him in in his condition? Did the continuous volts hitting his body kill the man who family member states suffers from hypertension?

The family states that for several weeks now Dewayne Chatt has been standing outside various churches in West Memphis praisng God,and had recently told his mother that he was save. So it comes as no surprise to this family that on Thursday night that Dewayne Chatt was chatting with God outside the 15th Street C.O.G.I.C.

FAMILY MEMBERS WILL APPEAR ON "EXPRESS YOURSELF" MONDAY AFTERNOON AT 4PM ON AM990 KWAM

Juvenile Court Employee Fired

Juvenile Court employee Henry Hodges has been fired after a DHS investigation into his having a minor child exposed herself in front of him. This story was first reported here several weeks ago after I was contacted by sources within Juvenile Court. Upon hearing of Hodges conduct I immeadiately contacted County Commissioner Sidney Chism who started the inquiry into why Hodges was still on the job.

This recent event is not the only misconduct by Hodges,last year after a female run away from California was sent back home by the court Hodges sent the minor a bus ticket so that she could run away again and return to Memphis where a relative of the child who lives here states that the minor confessed to having sex with the 50 year old man. But even while this event was going on another mother complained that Hodges had called her home after her child had been confined and returned home for a curfew vilolation telling the child that they would have to keep their involvement "On the down low".

Henry Hodges is also employed by the City Court Clerk's office as a part time supervisor. City Court Clerk Thomas Long assured me that Hodges does not work around children and that if it was determined that Hodges was guilty of wrong doing to children that he would also lose his job with the clerk's office.

West Memphis Police Have F@#ked Up Again

The West Memphis Police recently bragged that after the killing of 12 year old DeAunta Farrow that they were back in the streets of West Memphis in full force fighting crime. Some citizens have complained that the police saturation's have only taken place in Black neighborhoods and that some officers were abusing their power.

So is the case of 39 year old Dewayne Chatt who on last night was standing in front a church on 15th Street when police rode up on him. Chatt who family members say has a history of mental illness ran to the nearby Dodge Store on Broad Ave, where several officers followed him to the manager's office. Witnesses state that Chatt was beaten and tased at least 5 times by the officers. Chatt was also peppered sprayed as well.

Instead of taking Chatt to a hospital he was taken to the Crittenden County Jail a little after 1 AM and was found dead about a hour later. It's also stated that when Chatt was brought to the jail that he was carried in, prehaps even dead at that point. The family met on Thursday afternoon with Attorney Javier Bailey who is preparing a lawsuit on behalf of the family.

Member Says Former Pastor Was A Pimp

Several Sunday's ago Pastor Kevin B. Willis while preaching told the congregation of Riverside Baptist Church on Third Street that he was leaving to start another church. I received a letter from a member who states The Willis was nothing but a pulfit pimp who had hustled the congregation out of everything he could get and now was looking for new tricks to hustle. Click on to enlarge and read what the member had to say about Passor Kevin B. Willis and his wife Linda.

Is There Another Side To The Sidney And Rochelle Drama?

Court documents packets were sent around the city last year to show divorce papers that state that Pastor Sidney P. Malone took his wife to a mental facility in Atlanta. Those papers also state that when she was admitted that two women Carmilita Drayton and Deniece Andrews traveled with the husband and wife It's rumored and stated that Andrews is the mistress of Pastor Malone.


In those same documents received it shows that a Dr. Valerie Honablu writes that Rochelle Malone had no problems at all and that her problem was the controlling nature of her husband.

I have been in contact with someone close to this matter that has given me another perspective concerning this drama, plus someone faxed me copies of Rochelle Malone's assessment from Peachford Behavioral System in Atlanta where Malone was treated where Honablu assessment totally differs from her letter of support for Mrs Malone.

The documents that were faxed to me show that Rochelle Malone has a history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. It also that she suffers from severe anxiety panic,rapid mood shifts,hallucinations or delusions,severe insomnia, and severe problems with significant others. The report also deals with homicide/violence risk where it shows in Mrs. malone's assessment that she could be violent and make threats toward others. has paranoid ideation, and a previous history of violence. The report also states that there is a moderate risk of suicide. In fact in one portion of the report it shows where Sidney Malone states that his wife took 3 pills in an attempt to terminate her stay in this world.

In speaking with someone very close to this matter I was told that Deniece Andrews and Carmilita Drayton were best friends of Rochelle Malone and that she asked the two woman to travel with her to Atlanta. I'm told that the three women were the best of friends and that that socialize often traveling, shopping, and visiting each other homes. I'm even told that when Rochelle and Sidney first started to have problems that it was Deniece Andrews home she would run to and even spend nights. So the question must be asked would a woman who thinks that her husband is having an affair run to the woman's house she suspects telling her all her business?

While Sidney P. Malone may or may not be the cause of his wife's problems, it's certain from just reading the documents that Rochelle shares in the blame as well. Her mental condition is not conducive to a marriage and the fact that she has delusions as stated in the report leaves to question her belief that there is an affair going on between Sidney and Deniece. I'm certainly not saying that the affair may not be going on but based on the report it's going to be hard for her to make a judge believe her.

Tonight: What Officer Vince Stacks Says About Driving Miss Daisy To Pain

Yesterday afternoon I received a call from officer Vance Stacks at the radio station. Our conversation was in reference to my story concerning the events of last Thursday where Miss Daisy Miller and witnesses state that he abused his authority and picked her up by her shirt and pants and threw her onto the back seat of a police car.

Even though his version of what happened is totally different,tonight I will post what he had to say about the incident with Miss Daisy and her grand daughter Hope Miller. One thing he did say is that he never touched Miss Daisy, it was a White officer.

A Voice Of Concern From A Citizen

The following is an email that was sent to City Council woman Janis Fullilove and forwarded to me from a citizen that went Downtown Memphis to enjoy herself on Sunday. I have removed her name as she requested:


To: Janis.Fullilove@memphistn.govDate: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:57:55 EDTSubject: Downtown Memphis
Janis, I went downtown yesterday to have a good time and enjoy Africa in April. I was driving down Third street and the traffic was bumper to bumper. These young black folks were acting damn fool down there! They were in these late model & other cars with their music loud enough to wake the dead! They were bucking, bouncing their cars and near missing hitting peoples cars. Just mad behavior!

I couldn't begin to put into words what all of this looked like, but decent folks were looking scared as hell and because the traffic, there was no way out! They were weaving and bobbing in and out of traffic and literally driving all up on the sidewalks! They were surfing, which means that they were riding with their car doors open, while hanging out of the door and some of them were also sitting on the passenger window of their cars! Both females and males were doing this. They were getting out of their cars dancing that jucking and bucking crap that they do here in Memphis; just all in the middle of the street dancing. They were just acting like wild animals!

Now here is my issue with all of this; we all know that most of them aren't going downtown to spend any money. Let's just keep it real. But they are potentially scaring off decent people who are going downtown to spend money! All that's bound to happen is that they will end up causing trouble, wrecking someone's car or killing someone or themselves. The police know that this is going on, so why aren't they there to stop this?? I didn't see police presence until I got up to Beale Street. So, from the Fed Ex Forum back, all of this animalistic activity is going on! Am I mistaken in thinking that Memphis City Council had put forth ordinances to stop all of this kind of mess some time back?

If the Mayor and the City Council want to continue to attract visitors and want the citizens of Memphis to feel comfortable and enjoy coming Downtown, law ENFORCEMENT need to get on their job! I want to know what is going to be done about this!!! And speaking of visitors, what would you think if you were visiting Downtown Memphis and saw that the Police weren't doing a thing about something like this? Also, we know that this type of behavior wouldn't be tolerated in Germantown, Collierville and other surrounding areas, so why isn't anything done about it in Memphis?

The Council Is On The Right Track

The Memphis City School district is asking for $93.5 million in its 2008-09 budget, more than 10 percent of its $910 million general operating budget this year. The city provided about the same amount for 2007-08.While the district gets the bulk of its funding from the state and the Shelby County Commission,neither the county or the city has anything to say about how the money is spent or how the system is ran.

If the community really knew how MCS used the funding the surprise would be that very little money is spent on education and 80% or more is spent on administrative cost. While I totally favor the proposed plan for the city to reduce or eliminate funding for a system where they have no say so in an effort to reduce taxes,I must question whether or not it will really help.

If the city turns over the complete funding to Shelby County government how will it help the citizens of Memphis? The city happens to be in the county which means that the county will have to raise taxes to totally fund MCS. The other factor is that the citizens of Memphis pay both a city and county tax so where will the savings come from.

But even in this I think the council is on the right track in seeking a way to reduce the tax burden of the citizens of Memphis. If the council can come up with a plan that will save tax payers in Memphis and eliminate funding a system that it has no control over that get out the scissors. At the rate of current taxing the citizens are pouring water into a bucket full of holes

Memphis Police Officer Drives Miss Daisy To Pain

Mrs. Daisy Miller is a 70 year old business woman who has owned and operated The Orange Mound Grill for 50 years. Miss Daisy as she is known in "The Mound" has always been a law abiding citizen who has never had any problem with the law until Thursday afternoon.

On Thursday her 18 year old granddaughter Hope Miller was making a stop for her grandmother at Speedy's store on Park. Hope states that when she pulled onto the lot at the store with one of her girl friends she cut her car off and got out to go into the store. Hope states that at this time Memphis Police officer Vance Stacks told her to "Come here". Hope states that since this was not the first time that this officer had approached her she replied "What do you want now?" the office replies"Get in the car" at this point Hope ask the officer " Why?" Stacks tells her she is under arrest for playing her music to loud in her car and places handcuffs on her and places her in the back seat of the car.

Before we go forward with the rest of the details from Thursday, lets look at the history between Hope and officer Vance Stacks. Hope states that two months ago at the very same store as she entered the small grocery store Stacks grabbed her arm and told her "I ought to arrest you for being so sexy" Hope says that she snapped and told the officer to get his hands off her and that she was not some hoochie mama that he could disrespect. She goes on to state that Stacks told her "Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?" Hope states that she just walked off but has been harassed every time since that she runs into him.

Back to Thursday, After Hope was placed in the back seat of the squad car she told her friend to call her grandmother to come and get her car. Miss Daisy gets the call at the grill which is about 3 blocks away from the store and becomes upset at hearing that her grand daughter has been arrested. Daisy tells her son James Miller to take her up to the store. James says that he told his mother that there is no way that Hope is being arrested for just playing loud music, but Miss Daisy insisted that they go.

When James and his mother arrived at the scene true enough Hope was in handcuffs on the back seat of the squad car. James admits that at this point he does become disorderly because he wants to know why his niece who has never been in trouble and makes good grades at Whitehaven High School is being arrested. Stacks according to James tells him that he to is under arrest, James says that he resisted by not giving him his arm to be placed in handcuffs, which makes Stacks call for back up. Hearing Police Cars coming from every direction and figuring that he was in store for a beat down he allows the Stacks to handcuff him and place him in the car next to his niece.

James states that there are now at least 15 cars on the scene as he and Hope sat on the back seat of the squad car. During this hold time Miss Daisy has not said a word. Hope calls for her grandmother to come over to the car to get her car keys because she didn't want to go to jail and leave her car parked at Park and Grand. Witnesses along with James and Hope state that when the elderly woman approached the car Stacks grabbed her by the back of her shirt,picked her up from the ground and threw her into the back seat of another squad car where she sustained a sprained shoulder according to Methodist Lebonheur Healthcare.

Even though James and Hope were placed in handcuffs they were given Misdemeanor Citations and released but will have to turn themselves in on May22, 2008 and go to court on May 29,2008. Miss Daisy also received a citation.

According to police sources Vance Stacks has a history of over policing, and being overy aggressive. The sources also state that Stacks was moved from another area because of community complaints, and that presently there are numerous complaints on file against him. I was called by a family member of Miss Daisy and met with her and James,also with Hope at the Orange Mound Grill. While there I contacted their City Council person Wanda Halbert who assured me that she would be in contact with Police Director Larry Godwin. Speaking with Halbert this morning she states that she has left him a message and has sent him an email.

It appears that Vance Stacks actions against Hope Miller was not based on a car playing loud music, but his being rejected by her. It seems that Stacks had planned to use his position and his badge as a form of sexual intimidation but had no idea that her family would be coming to the scene. His throwing Miss Daisy onto the back seat of a squad car where she received injury was force that was excessive. The family has hired an attorney and plans to file a lawsuit against the city and the officer. The family also will be filing a formal complaint on Monday morning with Internal Affairs.

Woman Knocked To The Ground By Shelby County Deputies After She Asked To See A Search Warrant

On Thursday afternoon 58 year old Jeanette Bowen was knocked to the floor while holding a 12 month child and then kicked in the face by members of the Shelby County Narcotics Squad,Who stated that they were looking for her son Terry Bowen on a Federal warrant. Which in checking both state and Federal sources there is no warrant for Terry Bowen at all.

Mrs. Bowen states that when five officers lead by Officer Jason Bartlett arrived at her door she went to see what the officers wanted, She was told that they were looking for Terry on a federal warrant. When she told them that her son was not present at her home in Frayser and asked for a search warrant as they attempted to enter her home, the officers forced their way into her home telling her that they didn't need a fucking search warrant because they were the police

Mrs Bowen was holding her 12 month old grandchild as another grandchild whose 8 looked on when one of the officers who she says had a bald head pushed her knocking her to the floor with the baby hitting it's head. She also states that at the point she hit the floor the officer kicked her in the face, and then began their search.

Terry Bowen has been harassed by law enforcement since he went public on my radio show, stating that when Timothy Jones was killed on December 13,2007 by OCU officer Frank Hannah that there was no way they shot the person that they say they were running after some 6 blocks away on Claybrook.

Bowen states that 15 prior to being stopped himself on Claybrook that he had dropped Jones off at the Saint's Courts apartments on Watkins. Bowen also heard the shots that officers heard, but the shots were fired from the opposite direction. The police stated that Jones ran out of a side door of Claybrook. But as I have shown on this site the doors were nailed shut from the inside which means that Jones could not have ran out the house that had no electricity at 10:00 on a winter night with no shirt on.

Timothy Jones was found some 30-40 feet from where Hannah states that he shot him, under a police SUV. In viewing the body it was apparent that Jones had tire marks on his body which means that not only was Jones shot but ran over as well. I have a copy of Jones autopsy report that shows that Jones was shot in the back and also has a entry wound in the back of his neck both coming from a downward angle.

Again I must state that Terry Bowen has no warrants at all and that Jason Bartlett is grinding a personal axe in behalf of Frank Hannah. In fact it was Bartlett who several weeks ago ran up into Terry Bowen's home on Claybrook without a search warrant and says that they found a gram of cocaine. When this event happened I was on the phone with Bowen and heard them enter the house. I also heard them tell him "hang up the phone who you talking to, Thaddeus Matthews?" Terry Bowen spent 17 days in jail on a excessive bond of $150,000 for a gram of cocaine.

I spoke with Sheriff Mark Luttrell after that event and spoke with him tonight concerning Bowen, but all he says is that he will have Internal Affairs investigate. Luttrell needs to suspend Bartlett and the other officers involved and start a real investigation. There is no reason for Mrs. Bowen to be attacked and knocked to the ground by these officers.

With no warrants on him why are law enforcement officers trying to intimidate Terry Bowen? If Bowen would have had fed Charges why would the Sheriff's departments be doing the job of U.S. Marshall's? Bartlett was aware that Bowen just got out of jail and that he was in court on yesterday,which means had Bowen had any charges pending he would not have been released.

Jeanette Bowen has plans to file a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the Shelby County Sheriff's Department and against the officers personally. This act of violence will not go without notice and all the notice that will be given is not just from Luttrell's office. With Shelby County Sheriff's officers like Jason Bartlett and Chris Jones can any of us feel save? Is the actions of Jason Bartlett to silence Terry Bowen because The Memphis Police department is covering up what really happen in the shooting death of Timothy Jones? Is there a corrupt group of rouge cops on both the Sheriff's Department and the MPD working together to prey on those that they feel or weak?

Mrs. Bowen and family will be my guest today at 4pm on "Express Yourself" on AM 990 KWAM

Pastor Sidney P.Malone Lays hands On His Daughter

According to a Collierville Police Department police report Pastor Sidney P. Malone could soon be preaching from a jail cell. On April 9,2008 officers responed to a Domestic Violence complaint at 1952 Ivy Wood in Collierville, the home of Malone. The complaint was being made by the minor daughter of the pastor of New Growth In Christ Church.

The daughter states in her complaint with her grandmother Earnestine Atkins present that she had called her mother Rochelle on the phone and her father approached her and told her to get off the phone. After getting off the phone the daughter is told to go to her room,which she replys "OK". The daughter states that as she was closing her bedroom door her father busted into the room and began approaching her angrily saying repeatedly "Nigger what the hell are you doing?".

The daughter states that at this point she backed up to her bed and told her father not to touch her. He responsed by telling her that he could touch her because he was her daddy. The daughter then states that her father hit her in the nose and choked her from behind. She then screamed out at the "Man of God", her father that she hated him. malone then threw her CD player and started to break her CD's. Malone then told his daughter to "Get the hell out of his house".

At this point the child was transported to her grandmother's home in Whitehaven. Police spoke with Rochelle Malone who now lives just outside of Atlanta who told them that due to the nature of the attack she belives that her husband assualted their daughter by choking her. Mrs. Malone wishes to prosecute her husband on behalf of her daughter on Domestic Violence charges.

Janis Fullilove Says No To Property Tax Increase

City Council woman and long time Willie Herenton supporter Janis Fullilove called in on Wednesday to my radio show and announced that she will not vote for any tax increase. Fullilove stated that she wanted the community to know that her support is for the citizens of Memphis and that Memphians can not afford the increase that the mayor has proposed.

Knowing in the past that Fullilove has referred to Herenton as her "Tall cool glass of water" I questioned the fact if the mayor could make a call to her and get her to vote for a tax increase and to support his and Police Director Larry Godwin's idea of being able to hire officers outside of Shelby County.

Fullilove stated that even though she supports the mayor, on these two issues she "has to agree to disagree" with Herenton.

SIDENOTE: If all the revenue that the city receives comes by way of taxes, How is it that the city has a rainy day fund of $79,000,000? Does it mean the citizens overpaid their taxes? And if the money is for a rainy day,how much rain needs to fall before the funds are used?

After Placing His Wife In The Crazy House Local Pastor Is Now Alleged To Have Beaten His Children

Denice Andrews

Carmilita Drayton

Several months ago after receiving court documentation I wrote about how local pastor Sidney Malone had placed his wife Rochelle in a mental institution in Atlanta with the help of his alleged mistress and another woman in his church. When Malone's wife was released after doctors found that nothing was wrong with her but trying to please her husband by allowing herself to be committed she moved to Atlanta where her parents reside.

Today I received this email from a relative of Rochelle Malone:

THIS IS ABOUT SIDNEY MALONE'S CHILDREN) hey, the children went to stay with their dad mon & he was supposed to bring them back wed night. he beat up the oldest girl last night & had his mother drop her off over to my mom. he beat her because she was talking to her mother in atlanta. his mother was there & didn't try to do anything to stop him. the girl has bruises & a black eye on her body because he beat her with his fist & also choked her. a police report is being done for assault & battery on him now. he went crazy. he broke up all her cds & started throwing things in her room and calling her out of her name. my sister was on the phone when he was talking to her bad. so my sister is on her way up here now. this is really a big mess. i will be glad when this is over.

To refresh your mind's about what happened between this local man of God and his wife,here is the story I wrote several months ago:

I have been asked what's going on with the Memphis pastor who along with his mistress and another woman who happens to be a City of Memphis city attorney conspired to have his wife committed to a mental facility in Atlanta Ga. So I thought I would repost the primary story that I wrote concerning the Pastor and his Hoe's, Maybe some of his members can tell us if he confessed his sins and has asked for forgiveness or is he still the head pimp in charge.

Pastor Sidney P. Malone has produced what could become a "Life Time' movie in having his wife committed in an ATL facility so that he could enjoy his church mistress without having his wife around.The following comes from divorce papers filed in the Chancery Court of Shelby County as Sidney Poitier Malone vs. Rochelle case number CH-070959-2Rochelle Malone who married Sidney on June 6,1990 is seeking a divorce for inappropriate marital conduct. She states in her filing that Sidney has been verbally,mentally and emotionally abusive to her and their children. She also states that Sidney has been physically abusive to her and the children to the point that he choked her,and that one one the children sustained swelling and bruising to the body.

Rochelle states that Sidney told his daughters to strip down to their underwear,bend over, and touch their toes or the bed and whipped them with a paddle and would tell them to "get out of my face".In June of 2006 Rochelle states that Sidney told her that the Lord told him that if she failed to flow with him and listen to him by June 2007, the Lord had gave him permission to divorce her. She goes on to state that Sidney engaged in a diabolical scheme to admit her to a mental institution on an inpatient status without her knowledge.

On March 6,2007 Sidney and Rochelle celebrated their birthdays at the Madison Hotel in Downtown Memphis. Seven days later on March 13,2007 Sidney contacted by phone the Peachford Behavioral Health System of Atlanta Georgia,and talked with Dana Mosely,Assessment Counselor for the facility. During his conversation with Mosley Sidney asked her what he needed to do to have his wife admitted to the inpatient unit of Peachford,and what was the earliest that he could bring Rochelle to the hospital.Later Dana Mosley called Sidney back to apprise him of medical insurance information for Rochelle's appointment at Peachford. During the said conversation Mosley observed that Sidney had the conversation on speaker phone in the presence of an individual falsely identified to the Counselor as Rochelle's sister, CeCe whose real name is Carmalita Drayton.

Rochelle was in informed that a facility was located in ATL where she could participate in a three day out-patient program in a lodge setting to assist her with her martial discord. Sidney told Rochelle that she had to go to the three day program "To get whole". Rochelle was told by Sidney that her going to the program was a pre-requisite to saving her marriage.As a part of his scheme several days later Sidney purchased 3 round trip airplane tickets to Atlanta,and a one way ticket for Rochelle.

On March 20,2007 Sidney,Rochelle and 2 female companions traveled via airplane to Atlanta. The group arrived at Peachford and Rochelle was presented to Counselor Dana Mosley for assessment. Sidney had full knowledge that the information he provided in the level of care assessment would be used by the attending Psychiatrist to determined whether Rochelle would be admitted to Peachford behavioral Health System. The 2 women companions were identified by Sidney as Denice (Deniece Andrews) and CeCe. who Sidney lied and stated that the two women were Rochelle's sisters.The divorce documents state that Malone engaged in a diabolical scheme that resulted in Rochelle being institutionalized in the mental hospital for 24 days.

Sidney sort to remove Rochelle from Memphis and from her children Also to make his lie sound better out of the presence of Rochelle,Sidney made false and misleading statements to Mosley regarding the mother and father,and sisters of Rochelle regarding their mental and emotional health to ensure her being committed.I must note here that Dana Mosley has filed a Affidavit that states that Sidney told her that the reason that he he wanted his wife admitted to Peachford is because Rochelle had had personality changes for the pass 4-5 years.he also stated that Rochelle suffered from severe violent rapid mood changes,impulsiveness,extreme emotional agitation,anger out bursts, and was physically abusive towards him.

The affidavit also states that outside of Rochelle's presence Sidney stated that his wife gets disoriented,delusional. and that she blacks out frequently,and acted out at church. Sidney told Mosley that Rochelle was delusional and paranoid about his cheating,and that she lashes out at him verbally and physically.

Denise and CeCe mirrored the statements of Sidney about Rochelle,The affidavit states that one sister had shorter hair,and the other was of a lighter complexion who were tearful in their agreement with Sidney. Sidney told Mosley that he was scared of his wife and that he was afraid to make statements in front of his wife because it would trigger an outburst. By the way the woman Denise who lied and stated that she was a sister of Rochelle is Denise Andrews the mistress of Sidney. That's right he took his mistress with him to have his wife committed.

Dr. Valrie Hornablue a Board certified psychiatrist out of Georgia also has filed an affidavit that is a part of the divorce documentations verifies the statements of Dana Mosley and goes on to state that Rochelle was admitted to the adult female unit of Peachford based on Sidney's report that she was a threat to herself and others.

Dr Hornablue states that Rochelle was started on a mood stabilizer and a major tranquilizer. The medication was given as a result of Sidney and the "Two sisters" reports that indicated that Rochelle was in the midst of a agitated manic episode and may be a danger to herself and others over the next few days of being in Peachford Rochelle was observed to be cal,she attended all groups.took all her medications without problem and showed no evidence of violence The Doctor states that Rochelle's pleasant,calm ,and cooperative demeanor appeared to be her normal behavior and upon observation there was no evidence that her behavior was due to medication.Rochelle Malone did express concern about her marriage. She attributed her depression to feeling left out by her husband.

She expressed that they had started a church together but over the years she was increasingly left out of the decision making process. She stated that she wanted to please Sidney and was willing to do whatever she had to do to save her marriage. She also expressed concern that Sidney did seem to be spending more time and was seemingly more comfortable with Denise.Within a week of her admission a family session was conducted with both Sidney and Rochelle. Sidney expressed concern about Rochelle and how her behavior had traumatized him. he stated that he was angry and didn't know how he felt about her. Dr Hornablue told Sidney that she would find a psychiatrist and a therapist that would do follow up when they return to Memphis.

Sidney told the doctor that it was not in the best interest of Rochelle to return to Memphis at the time. He stated that she had caused trouble and made outbursts at the church and that it would be better for her to stay in Atlanta to receive treatment. Sidney even wanted to get Rochelle a car and condo to keep her out of Memphis.The doctor noticed that Sidney seem to be domineering and overbearing in regard to his marriage. the doctor states that she had begun to have doubt that Sidney had Rochelle's best interest in mind. the doctor suggested to Rochelle that she contact her parents and siblings for additional support.

While in Peachford Sidney told Rochelle that on the advice of one of his colleagues he'd decided to ask her for a divorce. At this point Rochelle became distraught.she felt betrayed. she stated that she came to Peachford because because Sidney had told her that this was what she needed to do for her depression and to save her marriage. Rochelle decided that she could no longer stay in Atlanta with the new turn of events,that she needed to return to Memphis to be close to her children and to Sidney. Rochelle continued to hope that he would see things differently since their church frowned on divorce and it would have a negative impact on the church. the doctor agreed with her decision to return to Memphis to be with her children. Rochelle did return to Memphis where Sidney cut off contact from their children and had cut off all funds from her,and Rochelle found herself having to live with friends.

The doctor's summary of Rochelle reads:Based upon my interactions with and treatment of Mrs. Malone,it is my professional opinion that she is not suffering from either a mood disorder or personality disorder that would render her a threat to herself or to her children. In my observation of her,i did not witness any symptoms or behaviors that were consistent with her husband's reports. What i did observe was her unwavering desire to please her husband and to return home to be with her children to the point that she was following his directions unquestioningly. As was revealed in her psychological testing,her tendency towards relinquishing control over to others and her desire to please others even at her own expense made her particularly vulnerable to her husband's control over her. It is also likely that years of living with such a domineering,overbearing,and powerful man fostered her self-defeating dependency on him.In many ways it was obvious that Mrs. Malone has surrendered control over her life to her husband. He has assumed responsibility for all of the major decisions that were made during the course of my intersections with her to the point where it seemed that he felt entitled to make such decisions unilaterally (hospitalization,remaining in Georgia,purchasing her a car and condo,etc.) It is highly unlikely,that a passive and dependent individual such as Mrs. Malone could "traumatize" a man like Mr. Malone who seems quite facile at taking advantage of and manipulating others to achieve his own ends. It is with great professional certainty that I state that Mrs. Malone is not a threat to her children and I remain firm in my resolution to support Mrs. Malone in her legal battle for access to and custody of her children.

Valrie Honablue M.D.

Since March 2007, Sidney has failed to inform Rochelle and excluded her from the major events and activities of their children, after taking her to Atlanta he changed the locks on the home that they shared together without giving her keys. Prior to her admission to Peachford her only income was $500.00 per week from New Growth In Christ, which Sidney cut off on April 16, 2007.To have money to maintain herself, to take care of clothing,gasoline,food and etc., on April 20,2007 Rochelle contacted American Express to obtain a $10,000 advance on the joint credit card that she and Sidney shared,the funds were received on April 20,2007. Subsequently Sidney closed all wife's bank accounts and credit accounts

I know that Sidney Malone has been lieing to the members of his congregation about what really happened as for as his relationship with Denise Andrews is concerned,and what has happened as far as his wife is concerned,. All the information that has been posted is from legal documents pertaining to this case. So what do you think of this man of god,should he remain pastor? Should Rochelle seek to file criminal charges against Sidney? Should Sidney remain as pastor, and if he owns the property should Rochelle seek half? is this the way the man of God should conduct himself?........... This is a Life Time movie in the making

Mayor Says Get Use To Higher Taxes And Reduced Services

Willie Wilbert Herenton in his proposal to the City council concerning a 58 cent increase in property taxes stated "Times have changed and citizens are going to have to get use to higher taxes and reduced services." But why do the citizens have to get use to this strong arm tactic to force consolidation down the throats of the citizens of Shelby County?

It is my belief that the mayor's plan along with the plan of County Mayor A.C.Wharton to also increase property taxes is an idea conceived to make living in the city under two forms of government so high that the citizens will cry out for consolidation. I also believe that since the mayors know that the hardest issue in the concept of consolidation is the two school systems that this is the reason that Herenton wants to return to Memphis City Schools.

As the leader of Memphis City Schools I believe that Herenton would push for the system to give up it's charter forcing the consolidation of schools. If Memphis City Schools were give up it's charter which has to be approved by the school board the county would have no choice but to take over the system. What the mayor has not told the citizens of Memphis is the fact that under state law the consolidation of the systems would cost taxpayers millions, because the law states that the smaller system (County Schools) would have to be brought up to the level of the larger system(MCS). which means that all salaries and benefits along with resources would have to be the same among the two systems which would cost millions.

The Memphis City Council has the last word, but their words should not be their own but the words of the citizens of Memphis. The council should not vote their consciences but the thoughts and concerns of those who placed them in office. maybe the council needs to tell this community why the city is not operating with the funds that come into it's coffers. maybe the council should ask the mayor why hasn't he reduced the number of appointees seeing that he's way over the quota allowed by the charter.Maybe the council should reduce the number of grants given out each year. The council has no power over directors who were appointed by Herenton, but they do have a say so over deputy directors. maybe it's time for directors to do their jobs and get rid of deputies and do the job that they are appointed to do.

THE MAYOR WANTS TO TAX THE CITIZENS OF MEMPHIS AND GIVE JOBS TO THOSE WHO WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY TAXES. HOW MUCH SENSE DOES THAT MAKE?

Henry Hodges Also Works As A Part Time City Employee

50 year old Juvenile Court Employee Henry Hodges who is being investigated by DHS for having a minor in Court custody expose herself and to masturbate in front of him is also a part time city employee. I learned tonight that Hodges is the night supervisor for the City Court Clerk's office where 4 days a week from 4-7 pm he supervises a staff of about 7 persons who daily place traffic tickets in city computers.

I spoke with City Court Clerk Thomas Long by phone and he wants to assure the public that if new charges are filed or if the DHS investigation shows that Hodges is guilty of the complaints against him he will move swiftly to terminate the part time employee who receives no city benefits. Long also stated that Hodges does not work with children.

My sources who also supplied Hodges mug shot by mail state in a typed letter that Hodges who was charged in 2006 with contributing to the delinquency of a minor was placed on diversion and had his record of this charge expunged,which is the reason no record of the charge can be found in city and county records.

In a letter of Notice from Juvenile Court it states that Hodges was charged on paper with the same offense in 2006 for calling the home of a minor who was released after a curfew violation telling the mother who was portraying her child on the phone that he wanted to see her,and that they would have to meet on the "Downlow".

This event took place while Hodges was being investigated for assisting a minor in running away from home in California after Juvenile Court had sent her home. In this case Hodges paid for a bus ticket with his debit card and brought the minor back to Tennessee. I spoke with a member of the family today and they are considering filing a multi million dollar lawsuit against the court for violation of the child's civil rights,and for the fact according to records in his personnel the court had stated in 2004 that Hodges should not be handling young girls in the court's custody. The family member also states that the minor child has admitted to having sex with Hodges.

It seems that Hodges who also according to sources has worked at school events for his wife Karen Hodges who works for Memphis City Schools has no business around young girls,and should be terminated by Juvenile Court. It is certain that the court and Hodges supervisors will have to answer to a higher court as to why they should not be held liable for Hodges actions and why they like Hodges shouldn't also be terminated.

Resolution To Add Police Outside Of Shelby County Will Fail

The CA this morning announced that City Council woman Janis Fullilove would be joining fellow council member Reid Hedgepeth to co sponsor a resolution giving Larry Goodwin and his goons full authority to hire officers 20 miles away from Shelby County.

In 2004 61% of voting citizens of Memphis decided that they did not want there police officers to live outside of the city limit,So Fullilove bowed to the Will of the people who placed her in office and this afternoon removed herself as a co sponsor of the resolution,

There is a move by Larry Godwin to cover what many of us believe is the fact that many of his "Goons" already live in the outline 20 mile border. The council was not elected to do the bidding of fellow Poli-trick-shuns.

The vote to kiss Godwind's ass and give him what he wants will not happen. Hedgepeth with the lost support of Fullilove will not have enough votes to make the resolution happen. Councilman Edmund Ford Jr. Will ask Godwin for the numbers on how many of his officers live outside the city and county,to see if this move by Godwin is just a move to make himself in compliance with the vote of the citizens,

There are over 40,000 people who come into the county and city on a daily basis from surrounding counties that leave no tax revenue here. To add police officers from other counties to work in memphis while living else where is unjust to the citizens of Memphis who are now facing a tax increase by the county and more then likely the city too.

Juvenile Court Employee May Have Violated Federal Law

Even though on March 16, 2006 Juvenile Court employee Henry Hodges received a misdemeanor citation in lieu of continued custody of arrested person for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. there is no record of the charge or his going to court. Which means one of two things had to happen. One he went to court on the charge and his record has been expunged, Or the matter was swept under the rug to cover up the offense.

One might ask why would anyone be interested in covering for Hodges,that answer is very simple the Chief Legal Counsel for Juvenile Court was running to become judge. The public mention of Hodges as an employee of the court assisting in the run away of a minor would have tainted Curtis Person's chances of winning especially when Hodges was not only involved in the case of minor Jazzmine Coleman, but the matter of April Walker at the very same time who Hodges called the home of after she was released on a curfew violation wanting to meet the minor child on the down low. This case could have been real detrimental to Person seeing that Juvenile Court had stated in 2004 that Hodges should not be around young girls in there custody.

It's very possible that republican Person had his republican friend District Attorney Bill Gibbons to not go forth with the charges. Gibbons in the past has refused to file charges against his long time friend Richard Fields who a police report states was having sex with a 16 year old, and Fields son Morgan Fields who a District Attorney's investigation file shows that Morgan Fields inserted his finger into the vagina of his own 2 year old daughter. This matter was backed up by the child, the mother, and doctors who reported that the child had a torn labia. Bill Gibbons office refused to file charges and stated that the mother of the child was crazy.

But even with all that Juvenile Court has done to protect themselves by covering for Hodges they may not be able to get around the fact that the 2006 case may have broken Federal laws. Lula Pope the aunt of the minor Jazzmine Coleman states that the minor has told her and the family that Henry Hodges had sex with her after providing a bus ticket for her to run away from California to come back to Tennessee. The fact that Hodges brought the minor across state lines to have sex is a violation of a federal law passed by Congress called The Mann Act.

So what is the Mann Act? In 1910, Congress passed the Mann Act which makes it a federal crime to transport individuals under the age of 18 across state lines to engage in any sexual activity. The original intent of the law was to stop prostitutes from being moved from one locale to another or out of the country. It now also applies to an adult taking a consensual minor to another state. Penalties can include being fined for $5,000, or imprisoned for 5 years, or both. The penalty could be doubled if a minor is involved.

Has Juvenile Court contributed to the violation of this Federal law by allowing Hodges to remain in their employ, surely Person as an attorney and the past legal counsel for the court knew about this law.

Further Proof That Juvenile Court Is Liable For The Actions Of Henry Hodges

Records from the personnel file of Henry Hodges shows that Juvenile Court was aware that he was a problem employee as early as march 18,2004. In an Inter Office memo from then Deputy Administrator Ronnie Clark to Administrator Wain Rubenstein.Clarks states that there have been several complaints that had been voiced by the detention staff about some of the practices that Hodges had been displaying with the girls in custody at the court.

The complaint stemmed around the fact that Hodges was creating a hostile work environment by talking to the girls daily and creating an environment where the girls thought that they were only to talk to him. While Clark disagreed with the staff that Hodges was creating a hostile environment he did conclude that Hodges should be careful as to how he addressed himself to the girls.(If you click to enlarge the memo you can read it all).

On March 3,2006 Delois Campbell Administrator of Personnel Services issued to Hodges and copied to Judge Kenneth Turner,Juene Wood,Dini Malone, Wain Rubenstein,and Rick Powell, A notice of final disposition on major discipline. The notice charged Hodges with "Acts of misconduct (contributing to the delinquency of a child,violation of T.C.A. 37-1-156). He was also charged with Intentional disregard of carry out instructions and willful disregard of lawful orders,

The notice goes on to discuss Hodges role in helping a minor child Jazzmine Coleman run away from her guardians in Fresno California after being sent home from Memphis by Juvenile Court. The complaint was filed by Lula Pope the aunt of Coleman. (A hand written copy of the complaint is posted for you to enlarge and read).

The complaint states that Hodges made contact with Coleman's sister Sherika Vallentine telling her that he wanted to find the minor a job so that she could get off the streets. Two weeks after Jazzmine returned to California Hodges knowing that the minor was in the custody of the state of California told Williams that he was sending the child a greyhound bus ticket.

What the notice does not make clear is the fact that Jazzimine Coleman was a ward of the state and was living with foster parents and that Williams who lives here in Memphis could not give him permission to do anything. Hodges paid for the ticket with his debit card. At this point his explanation to Juvenile Court concerning his actions and what the aunt states is totally different. I have been in contact with Lula pope even interviewing her on my show on Wednesday.

Pope states that Hodges helped Jazzimine run away and that the family didn't know where she was. Jazzmine before coming to Memphis went to Nashville, where Pope states that after conversations with the child found out that Hodges was making trips there to visit her. Pope also states that Jazzmine has confessed to the family that she and Hodges were having sex.

As a result of Pope's complaint The Shelby County Sheriff's Department was asked to investigate the matter for any any inappropriate criminal activity. Hodges met with Lt. Harris on February 23,2006. The investigation concluded that Hodges did in fact pay for the bus ticket so that the minor child could travel from Fresno to Memphis without consulting with the foster parents of Coleman. Harris stated that Hodges admitted to his error and was issued a misdemeanor citation for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

A misdemeanor citation means that you are under arrest but not taken into custody,and that you must turn yourself in for fingerprinting before going to court. Checking the General Sessions Court's website there is no showing that Hodges even received the citation or that he ever went to court on the charge. Is this where the cover up begin?

While the complaint against Hodges for helping Jazzmine Coleman run away was going on a second complaint was filed. Tomeka Williams mother of April Walker submitted a written complaint on February 21,2006. She states that April was brought to Juvenile Court on January 17,2006 for a curfew violation. April phoned home several times in the early morning hours and Hodges is said to have called also telling the mother that April needed to be picked up. Williams states that she picked April up on January 18,2006.

Around 9:00pm on January 18,2006 Williams claims that Hodges phoned her home and she answered the phone. She recognized Hodges voice when he asked "What are you doing?" Ms. Williams asked him to identify himself,and he responded, "Hodges" At this point Williams pretended to be April and responded to the questions Hodges asked "Whose number is this","Can anybody hear our call?". Williams states that Hodges went on to say still thinking that he was speaking to April "You know if it wasn't for me, your mama wouldn't have picked you up". Williams going on to state that Hodges asked April if he could pick her up. She also states that Hodges stated that he could not visit the house because he feared that Williams would shoot him.

The conversation continued with Hodges stating that he and April would have to "keep it on the low". After listening for a period Williams identified herself as the party on the line. She told Hodges that he was on a speaker phone and that April, her sister and a friend were listening. Williams states that she told Hodges that she recorded his conversation and he that he was going to be in trouble for sexual harassment of her 16 year old child. Hodges then states "April quit playing". Williams had April to speak up that's when he hung up the phone,but in about 10 minutes he called back to apologize to Williams asking her what he could do to make it it,and that he was willing to do anything to save his job.

Even though the notice states that Hodges received another charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, the report does not show the Sheriff's Department being called in a second time. The notice also shows where Hodges violated policy The Juvenile Court Administrative Manuel stipulates in Directive 1-2 (11) "To avoid any suspicion of exploitation,probation officers and other personnel shall not become involved with probationers or other clients."

The question still remains why was Hodges allowed to stay on the job? There is clear proof that he violated policy must two charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor prior to the present case where he is alleged to have asked 15 year old Desiree Wilson to expose herself and as I'm told by sources to masturbate in front of him. As I first reported that there is video proof of Hodges standing at the cell door of Wilson for a period of time. Juvenile Court wants to cover up this fact. Why would Hodges stand at the door for a period of time just watching the child expose her breasts.

Juvenile Court officials stated in the CA that Hodges was suspended in late March, this is totally incorrect Hodges according to sources within the court worked last week. It is my belief that the main reason for the cover up is because Judge Curtis Person does not want to hurt his appeal where he is trying to prevent a second judge from being seated at the court. The question will have to be answered as to why Hodges charges do not show up in the system and why the case never went to court.

Action News 5 reported as though they broke this story, when in fact they did not play any role in getting the investigation going into why Hodges was still on the job. I received this information on Tuesday night, It was posted here before any news outlet reported it. On Tuesday night prior to posting the story I contacted County Commissioner Sidney Chism who assured me that first thing Wednesday morning he would start the inquiry about the matter which he did. So for Action News 5 to claim to have been the force behind this story is totally wrong.

Juvenile Court Is A Contributor To The Sexual Misconduct Of Their Employee

It became very apparent today that the administration of Juvenile Court has been covering up the sexual misbehavior of Henry Hodges. It's reported that since 2004 Juvenile Court has issued warnings to Hodges concerning his actions around young females in the Court's custody but has refused to terminate him.

As I first reported last night and has been confirmed today by Larry Scroggs of Juvenile Court DHS is investigating the actions of Hodges on March 14,2008. My sources state that Hodges stated to 15 year old Desiree W. That he could help her get out of Juvenile Court's custody if she would show him her breasts and vagina,and masturbate in front of him. The 15 year old complied and there is a tape I'm told by my sources that shows him standing outside her cell for at least 30 minutes.

While the tape is stated not to show the girl showing her breasts and masturbating due to his blocking the view of the camera,female detention officer Michelle Hunt walked up on the act being done. It's also reported that when Hunt walked up on Hodges that he had an erection from viewing the 15 year old. Hunt like several other detention employees gave statements last week to DHS.

Scroggs also confirmed that Hodges two years ago sent a bus ticket to California to a young girl named Jasmine who had ran away from home and had been arrested here in Memphis for prostitution who had been sent back home by the court. Hodges assisted the child in running away a second time by sending her a bus ticket and putting her up in a hotel in Nashville for several weeks before bring her to Memphis. Hodges was placed on a 15 day suspension for this act, but I must question why wasn't he fired for assisting a child to run away from home and placing her in a hotel.

This evening just moments before I went on air I received a call from a woman named Lula who stated that she was the aunt of Jasmine she gave me some of the details but i asked if I could speak with her on air and she agreed. In my telephone interview of Lula she stated that Jasmine was 14 at the time that she ran away from a foster home in California. She stated that Jasmine was arrested here in Memphis for prostitution and taken to Juvenile Court where she first met shift supervisor Henry Hodges. Lula states that Hodges made arrangements with Jasmine to return her to Memphis when he arrived in California.

Lula states for nearly a month after Jasmine ran away a second time no one in their family knew where Jasmine was until she made a call home to California and stated that she was with Hodges. Hodges stated that she went to the bus station and was shown a copy of the bus ticket that was sent to jasmine which was signed for by H. Hodges.

Lula goes on to state that she got Hodges home and cell number from Jasmine and had several taped conversations with Hodges who stated that "He was just trying to help the child". Jasmine confessed to Lula that she had been having sex with Hodges.

Lula states that last year she went to visit Juene Wood who at the time was the administrator of Juvenile Court. Wood stated that Hodges had had several complaints of this nature, Wood was also given a COPY of the taped conversation where Hodges speaks of "Trying to help the child" But Wood stated to Lula that he could not be fired because he's a civil servant employee, which is a lie.

Juvenile Court only suspended Hodges today after County Commissioner Sidney Chism had his staff call over to the court to find out what was going on. I spoke with Chism last night as I prepared the story asking him to inquire about Hodges and why Hodges was still employed,which he did. Even though the investigation was going on last week as of Saturday he was on the job and according to sources within the court with full access to the young females in custody.

Juvenile Court also sent out a memo this morning telling employees not to talk to the media,but it's to late for that. I have received calls all day from sources within the court supplying information about the various acts of cover up on this matter. In fact I received a call stating that Hodges has in the past gotten the names and addresses of female and went to their homes pretending to be an mentor from Juvenile Court. I'm told that this is also something that administrators know of.

Why hasn't Curtis Person who is elected by the people to run the court and to protect the children in custody made a statement? Is it because he's apart of the good ole boy network that has controlled Juvenile Court for 40 years? Why has Person allowed the court and the county to open to a major lawsuit for refusing to protect the children in it's custody when it's known that an employee has the tendency to violate young females? Why is Person fighting so hard to prevent a second judge when every court in the county has more than one elected judge? is it because a second judge would interfere with the cronyism that has been in place for years?

This case alone proves that the court is not being ran properly and that the children in custody should fear for their safety. The main focus has to be that Juvenile Court was aware that Henry Hodges should not be working around young girls and did nothing to protect them which makes liable for Hodges actions and contributors to his crime.

The family of Jasmine is searching for the tapes of the conversation between Lula and Henry Hodges which I will play on my radio show.

Sources State That Juvenile Court Is Covering For Employee Who Asked A Female Child To Masturbate

Sources within Juvenile Court state that it's administration is covering up an investigation by DHS into the acts of a long time detention supervisor whose sexually abusing young females. The sources allege that Henry Hodges told a 15 year old young woman that he could get her released if she showed him her breasts and vagina,and masturbated as he watched.

The sources state that Juvenile Court has a tape of Hodges standing at the cell door of Desiree W. on March 14,2008 for at least 30 minutes. With Hodges standing at the door the camera was unable to catch the young lady in the act of masturbating for Hodges, but a female detention employee caught the child and Hodges in the act.

The child who is from Baltimore Maryland was in Juvenile Court custody for prostitution. After Hodges was unable to get her released she reported his actions to Deputy Chief Rick Powell. Powell interviewed the female detention employee who confirmed that she saw Hodges standing at the cell door of Desiree W. watching her expose herself and masturbate for Hodges. I'm told by the sources that DHS has an investigation going on that is being hushed by Juvenile Court administration.

The sources state that this alleged act is not Hodges first time at preying on a young female charged with prostitution. I'm told that a couple of years ago Hodges was suspended for 15 days after he purchased a airline ticket for a young woman charged with prostitution who was being sent back home to California by Juvenile Court to return to Memphis.

The sources state that Hodges purchased a ticket for the young woman so that when she arrived in California on the plane from Memphis, she could immediately get on a return flight back to memphis where it was founded that Hodges put her up in a hotel which was also paid for on his credit card.

I'm told that even though there is an investigation going on by DHS Hodges is still on the job an in contact with young females in custody at the court. I made contact with County Commissioner Sidney Chism and have asked him to look into this matter. I also think that Judge Curtis Person needs to suspend Hodges until the investigation is complete,in fact Bill Gibbons should start an investigation to see if charges should be filed. If Person is allowing this alleged act to be covered up maybe it is time for a second judge.

Local Church Is Being Pimped

According to members of The Fellowship Of Believers In Christ Church Pastor Joseph T. Jackson is upset with me for exposing his hold card against his members. I'm told that he told the church The church to stay out of his business and to not listen to my show on today and to not call in. Jackson who is being sued by members of the church returns to court on Tuesday to show the court why his pimping ain't dead.

The member told me that members of the church are very upset about the self serving constitution and many have no plans of allowing it to go forward. They are also upset that they have allowed themselves to become church whores while Pimp Joseph figures out to ways to screw them greaselessly.

Jackson is upset with me due to the fact that I exposed him for the pulpit hustler that he happens to be. Let me give you more facts about this case and why this pulpit pimp has his panties in a wad.

The congregants in Chancery Court documents claim that prior to February 7, 2007 the membership of about 300 were organized under the name of New Antioch Baptist Church. In November of 2oo6 Antioch elected Joseph T. Jackson as pastor.

At the time that Jackson was elected as pastor of New Antioch the church owned property that included the church sanctuary that was purchased in 1992 for $754,000.00, 6 debt free houses, 1 lot of parcel land, 1 commercial building,and a passenger Dodge bus. After Jackson was elected he changed the name of the church to The Fellowship Of Believers In Christ. The members now feel that Jackson has made an attempt to get a loan worth $1.5 million encumbering the church's property.

The members also feel that Jackson to refinance church property and that he is using a company named 'The Source" in his scheme to deplete the equity in the church"s assets for their own personal gain. The members also feel that Jackson is using his own appointed officers and deacons to assist in controlling the business affairs and assets of Fellowship Of Believers In Christ.

Jackson in changing the name of the church rewrote the church's constitution giving himself sole authority to appoint an unappoint all deacons and officers thus he he can hand pick his cronies and oust anyone to dares to go against him The new constitution gives him "absolute authority" to officially represent the members of the church in all matter relating to the church,which representation is binding upon the church.

In the new constitution written by Jackson he gives himself a job for life stating that he is to serve for an indefinite period since there is no Scriptural support of tenure. But what really reveals his pimping attitude toward the people of God is where in his new constitution he provides that the church pays him a weekly salary and all of his needs. In the pages that I have provided from the new constitution you can see if you click on to enlarge Jackson wants the church to have total responsibility for him and his family.

Jackson provides that the church provisions for his home,all insurances,transportation's,financial offerings, retirements,banking accounts,Social Security Benefits,and all other aspects that apply to his total care. This pimp even states that the church shall provide a housing allowance for him and his family that shall encompass the total maintenance and upkeep which includes, but not limited to mortgage, utilities,cable, telephones, and any other expenses. Plus this pimp wants the church to provide other provisions connected with his office and function,such as continuing higher education, and its literature,materials to help elevate him to better service.

Pastor Joseph T. Jackson wants to still be able to pimp even in sickness or death. Jackson provides that should he become disabled to carry on his work he shall receive a full salary until his disability begins. If he dies the church shall bear all funeral expenses and shall continue to honor the provisions of the constitution towards his wife,until all insurance policies have been paid in full. Then he writes, If for any reason the insurance policies are not in effect or in place, then the church shall give the wife no less than one year of his total pastoral offerings from the following year.

I'm told that on Sunday the tithes and offferingswere a lil low. Where the normal take is about $8,000 which the pastor according to members receives 10% of, the offering for this Sunday was just barely$2,000. Josepk L. Jackson could be heard singing his praise song of the day "It's Hard Out Here For A Pimp"

Is Joke Ford Now The Lone Ranger

It seems that Joke Ford is on his on as a Ford who wants Ford support for his bid for congress. Both Harold's, Senior and Junior who each have held the seat that Joke Ford wants to hold denounced his statements that only a Black should hold the seat that is presently held by Steve Cohen. In fact Harold Sr. stated that his son should apologize publicly for his statements.

It has also been revealed that Harold Jr. asked his brother not to run for the seat. I'm sure that both Harold's know that Joke Ford is the last person who should represent the citizens of the Ninth Congressional District. They know that he has no ties to the community,that even though he ran two years ago has not since shown any interest in the district.

The Fords also owe a debt of gratitude to Steve Cohen for stepping in an making sure that John Ford was not sent off to a federal prison 1200 miles away. In fact it was Harold Sr. who suggested to brother John that he ask the current congressman to step in,and Cohen did just that. With Joke Ford running against Cohen just shows that Joke has no sense of gratefulness.

Harold Jr. who makes several million dollars a year as a political analyst for MSNBC also knows that he just may have to nationally report on the race for congress out of the Ninth Congressional District, plus the ambitious former congressman may be looking for a cabinet seat should Barack Obama be elected as the next President, and Joke Ford could serve as an embarrassment in either position.

But maybe what Joke Ford's whole plan is is to bring shame upon his father and older brother. Surely Joke Ford has to know that his history of being expelled from St. Albans a private school in Washington is going to come out. He has to know that his alleged history of using drugs is going to be a topic of discussion. Joke Ford also has to know that his alleged history of violence towards both his father and brother is going to make the news. And there is no doubt that the fact that Joke Ford having only has a GED is going to make news. Plus there is the chance that it will be revealed that Joke Ford has an older brother and sister by the names of Reginald and Donna Rodgers that his father has never acknowledged publicly. Then there's the fact that he has a drunk in the person of Isaac Ford running his campaign.

The fact that both Harold's came out against Joke Ford not only shows that he will not have their support for his political bid but it will also dry up his ability to raise money. those who may have felt as though they owed the Harald's a debt now know that Joke Ford does not have they support of the two former congressmen. If all else fails for Joke Ford maybe he could get a role in a movie as "The Lone Ranger".

Will The Joke Be On The 9th Congressional District?

Jake Ford statement about only a Black can serve at congressman from the 9th congressional district is a joke. What did his Black brother do for the district in the 10 years he held the office? Why is it that this candidate who comes from a democratic family not running as a democrat? The answer is simple he knows he cannot win in the democratic primary so he chooses to play the political game of playing it safe.

Joke Ford knows in running as an independent he assures himself a spot in the November general election. He hopes that the race comes down to him and Steve Cohen and that Blacks which make up the majority of the district will be stupid enough to vote for him based soley on his being black and his name being Ford.

Where has Joke Ford been the last two years since the last election? What organization has he joined that works for the interest of the community? What service has he rendered in the community? One would think that at least he would pretend to be interested in the community he says he wants to represent. Don't let the Joke be on you, Know a Joke when you see and hear it.

Tomorrow: Why Is A Local Church Allowing Themselves To Be Pimped?

There are members of the Fellowship of Believers in Christ Church who are tired of there new pastor attempting to take total control of the church and writing a Constitution that gives himself "Absolute Authority" over the church and its finances.

Tomorrow I will discuss how this pastor changed the name of the church just months after becoming pastor and how the name change may be an attempt to fight off IRS problems. I will post from his new constitution how he has given himself "Absolute Authority" to officially represent the members in all matters relating to the church,which representation is binding upon the church.

Even though he says that he will speak with the deacons before making a decision he has given himself the power to solely appoint and unappoint deacons. Jackson also in his new constitution has given himself full authority to designate the depository or depositories in which funds of the church may be deposited,and to designate who signs the checks. Jackson has also given himself an indefinite period of time to serve with no way out for the church to fire him.

I will also discuss how even though the church pays him $800.00 per week the new constitution requires the church to pay ALL of his bills and needs,including cable. The church is requires to carry an life insurance policy on him and his wife and to pay of of his burial expenses if he should die.

Many of the members were totally unaware of this new constitution until it was revealed on "Express Yourself" Wednesday. Not only will I be posting the full details of this "Pulpit Pimp" but he will be the topic of my discussion on Monday's program.

MOUNTAIN TOP SPEECH

PART 2





THIS IS THE ENTIRE MOUNTAINTOP SPEECH THAT WAS GIVEN HERE IN MEMPHIS APRIL 4,1968 AT MASON TEMPLE

YES DR.KING WE SHALL OVERCOME SOME DAY

">

It's Been 40 Years,So Now What?

Martin Luther King Jr. died here in Memphis 40 years ago. But has his death changed the condition of the plight of Blacks in this city? We still live in a city where everything has roots in racism,much time the political tool of poli-trick-ans, We will march on Friday, hear great speeches, sing strong spirituals,and have a killing in the Black community before the sun goes down.

So my question is After 40 years What has his death meant to Black Memphians? What has his death done to create Black Leadership? Or is the marching and the great speechs worthless if Blacks in this city have no plan yet other than to blame the White man, for our plight what meaning does King's death have?

Local Pulpit Pimp To Be Exposed On Today's "Express Yourself"

I have received information from some of the members of The Fellowship Of Believers In Christ Church who state that there Pastor is a Bible toting preacher who they are taking to court to prevent his total fleecing of their flock,

The congregants in Chancery Court documents claim that prior to February 7, 2007 the membership of about 300 were organized under the name of New Antioch Baptist Church. In November of 2oo6 Antioch elected Joseph T. Jackson as pastor.

After Jackson was elected he changed the name of the church to The Fellowship Of Believers In Christ. The members now feel that Jackson has made an attempt to get a loan worth $1.5 million encumbering the church's property.

The members also feel that Jackson to refinance church property and that he is using a company named 'The Source" in his scheme to deplete the equity in the church"s assets for their own personal gain. The members also feel that Jackson is using his own appointed officers and deacons to assist in controlling the business affairs and assets of Fellowship Of Believers In Christ.

Jackson in changing the name of the church rewrote the church's constitution giving himself sole authority to appoint an unappoint all deacons and officers thus he he can hand pick his cronies and oust anyone to dares to go against him The new constitution gives him "absolute authority" to officially represent the members of the church in all matter relating to the church,which representation is binding upon the church.

Plus this pimp wants the church to provide other provisions connected with his office and function,such as continuing higher education, and its literature,materials to help elevate him to better service.

Pastor Joseph T. Jackson wants to still be able to pimp even in sickness or death.

If you are a member of this church, you have to either be crazy or love being a church Whore because it's for certain that Joseph T. Jackson is a pimp. Tune in at 4pm as I totally pull the cover off Pimping Joe on AM 990 KWAM

Lowery To Pick Up Garbage

It seems that City Councilman Myron Lowery wants to spend a day as a sanitation worker, I wonder if he can find any garbage at City Hall that needs to be taken out? Here's his press release:

Lowery Joins a Sanitation Crew As a tribute to Memphis sanitation workers, City Councilman Myron Lowery will “walk a mile in their shoes” on Wednesday, April 2nd at 7am. This is the second time that Lowery has joined a sanitation crew to pick up garbage in the city. Lowery said “I’m doing this as a personal tribute to these employees who mean so much to Memphis by providing a service that must be done.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “there is dignity in all work” and Lowery said this is his way of saying thank you to the men and women who help keep our city clean.
