JONES COUNTY, MS – A couple of days ago after we remarked that we were working from Ward’s Restaurant in Laurel, MS we were visited Tim, who lives in the area and with whom we’d previously communicated with via email. Tim had heard about MHD after our rights were violated by members of the Jones County Sheriff’s Department (JCSD) and upon hearing of our desire to reach out to others that had similar stories to demonstrate the out-of-control nature of the JCSD he put us in contact with his bud Chip Irby.
After a brief phone call confirming Chip’s interest and availability we cruised down to Hattiesburg where we shot his interview (Chip prefers not to enter Jones County too often due to his previous mistreatment), which only helps underscore our accusations that Sheriff Alex Hodge and his deputies are operating outside the law.
