Priester denies bond for Rollins

Hinds County Court Judge Melvin Priester, Sr., denied bond for John Gregory Rollins yesterday and bound him over to the grand jury.  Rollins stole a car in March and fled from police.  JPD charged him with auto theft and felony fleeing.  Judge Priester denied bond since he was free on bail for another felony when arrested.  Rollins was also indicted  in April for stealing another car in May 2015.  It's John Rollins.  He is a career criminal.  It's what he does.  The victim, Tara Coxwell, posted this message on Facebook after he stole her car:

Today I was car jacked at a very nice, well known, Northeast Jackson business. The part of town where I grew up, my grandparents settled there, and my mom grew up as well. I am thankful that my babies were not in the car because he would have taken them with him. God was watching over us today. JPD did an amazing job, and within 30 minutes of making the 911 call, the monster was caught and they recovered my car. I have had many firsts today... being a victim of a crime, I have ridden in 3 police cars today(once in the back), been to my crime scene where he caught my car on fire, and went downtown to write a two page report so this monster will stay in jail.


JJ reported that Rollins had a history of arrests, convictions, and escaping punishment:

Rollins was sentenced  on 3/23/11/ in Hinds County for

·         burglary – vehicle  and received one year and one day to serve and three years probation

·         credit card fraud  and received 10 months.

He was released on probation on 5/25/11, but his probation was later revoked. He was resentenced on 12/1/11 for the burglary conviction and received three years to serve with no probation. He spent 122 days in jail before being sentenced



He was sentenced for:

·         Shoplifting on 9/18/12 to 1 year and 1 one day to serve with four years probation.

He was released on probation on 5/12/14. His probation was later revoked.He was sentenced again on 1/22/15 for  vehicle theft and received 1 year and six months to serve and 3 years probation.  He was released again on probation on 7/10/15. When his probation was revoked on 8/14/15 and he was sentenced to the technical violation center for 180 days.
Court records state he received a suspended prison sentence of 3 years, 6 months on January 27, 2015 for motor vehicle theft.   He also received a suspended prison sentence of 3 years and 364 days on September 9, 2012 for shoplifting as well.

It remains to be seen whether MDOC will go to court to revoke his probation for committing more felonies.  Court records showed nothing had yet been filed.  JJ contacted MDOC and is awaiting a response to an inquiry on Rollins.   

Kingfish note: Nice job, Judge.  DA indicted him for habitual. So far, JPD, DA, and Judge are doing their jobs.  Come on, MDOC, revoke his ass.

this animal has lost the right to live in society. do we have a "three strikes" felony law here? if we did he'd be serving life without parole

I'm at least grateful that all his felonies have been non violent.

PittPanther - Once again you reveal to all the world what a dumb-ass you are. I'm almost certain that Mrs. Coxwell would rather have been hit upside the head with a board than have to endure the mental anguish and emotional trauma this situation has visited upon her.

That POS has been stealing and breaking into cars since 2006. He didn't just start stealing in 2012...he's been at it for years. Damn ridiculous he's allowed outside the wire.

Kingfish said...

Several cops said he is not dumb. He has the system figured out. He is also a problem down at the jail as he will stir up other inmates to act up. They can't wait to see him go back to MDOC>

Drop him on an island 1,000 miles from anywhere. Problem solved.

I can believe he would be called smart compared to Jackson cops. That still isn't something to be impressed with.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
