Breaking News WDAM TV

[noway]

A short brief on Midday.

Vaston Fairley son of Mt Carmel Pastor Kenneth Fairley arrested for sell of Cocaine at Mt Carmel Church..

[wilebill]

Hmmmmm

[OLDLADY]

Wow, Wow, and Wow again.... once again the plot may thicken....or you can look for more publicity by Fairley to make big smoke screen. And BTW, what were those racists cops thinking to arrest such a person?

[sackett22]

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!! Time for HPD to really start looking more closely at that church.

[58ford]

Was it white cocaine or black cocaine?
We want to make sure there ain't profilin' goin' on 'round here.

[Sir Mickey Mouse]

Ut oh...

watch for the good rev to step up his fight now...

He always does something to get the attention of him and his church family. Last time, when his second son was indicted in the mortgage flipping stuff, he filed the suit... wonder if he'll take that to another level now

[TheKing]

so his son is a mortgage flipper AND is dealing the coke on the side

a child is a product of his environment

i wonder how far the apple has fallen from the tree?

i know his son and i are about the same age...im 26 -- i swear every single day that passes, i find myself being more and more like my father

[58ford]

The Rev might file suit against the city council for hampering chief Wynn's ability to keep HPD from profiling black, cocaine dealing, members of Mt. Carmel, that are named fairley.

[Sir Mickey Mouse]

I would love to hear the reactions by Chief Wynn he the officers told him, Mayor DuPree when Wynn told him, and Fairley when he heard about WDAM reporting the incident.

[PathFinder]

Well, well, well very interesting developments indeed. So far I've seen nothing on the WDAM or HA website. Anyone in the know able to shed more light on this story? Was it HPD that made the arrest? If not was it the Feds or even the SO? I'm anxious for details.

[noway]

Does a pastor or church have to answer to anyone? Can a pastor be so active in city politics(sepration church from state) 60 lbs of dope found at church? Pastors son arrested for sell of cocaine at the church?

What does GOD think of this?

Should WDAM pull Mt Carmel off Sunday programing?

Any other church in Hattiesburg (white or black) the pastor would be sent to the moon..

Someone really needs to write a book or make a Movie on Hattiesburg Since 2001.. you would be rich..

[58ford]

Was he actually arrested IN Mt. Carmet Church?

[noway]

Miranda Beards exact words..

William Vaston Fairley arrested for sell of cocaine at Mt Carmel Church..

Thats what I heard.. Anyone else hear something different?


I bet the HA editors are scrambling... LOL!!

[TheKing]

they keep a tv on in the newsroom but its usually tuned between cnn and wdam...

so its possible they had cnn on during this

i would shoot them an email and find out...believe it or not they do their best to respond to tips given up from the public

[Omerto]

Was he actually arrested IN Mt. Carmet Church?

I heard he was arrested while selling out of the back of the church van.

[JB2379]

at first I thought this was a big joke. But now I know it's true and its a damned shame. That's all I can say.

[58ford]

Like an icecream truck, cool!
I wonder what kind of music the Mt. Carmel Cocain truck would play?
I want to say "Puff the Magic Dragon" but that would be a Ganja Truck.

[58ford]

"Cocaine" by Eric Clapton
(ford smacks self in head) what was I thinking?

[58ford]

I can see all the twitchy little yuppies running out to the street with their gold cards, "Don't Go yet! Don't Go yet! Mr. Cocaine man wait for me!"

[58ford]

Chief Wynn could be directing traffic, "Form a straight line there folks. wait your turn. No Shoving there! Mr. Fairley's got pleny for everybody."

[USMFan]

I just joined myhattiesburg about 5 minutes ago so welcome all. There is a brief I read this morning in the print edition of HA on page 2 about the arrest. I haven't had a chance to check out the site yet though. I'm betting the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I'll head over to the new member forum to introduce myself now.

[Monkey]

So what's the deal??? Is the HA this far in Fairley's pocket?? How on earth could you hide a story like that in the brief section of the newspaper. This is a major story about a religious (and as much as we don't want to admit it) political leader's son who has been arrested. That's the sorriest excuse for reporting I've ever seen!

[Janedoe]

I wonder what else this van & church have been used for. I know a secret.

[lamarrebel]

There was a tiny "brief" on William Fairley's (a.k.a. "fraud defendant" arrest in this morning's print edition of the HA on page 2 of the front section. I've been in court all morning and haven't had the opportunity to post the news.

[Little-ole-me]

There was a little item about this in today's HA. I hope they put him in jail and don't release him on any kind of bail. I wish the Fed's would check the church out from top to bottom. And I agree WDAM should pull that Church Services off there station. Fairley and his whole family is nothing but trouble for H'Burg. The mayor should be telling him now,to stay out of the cities business and stay away from him but, our mayor is a Fool so im sure he will just keep on letting things stay just the same.

[daisy]

So if the van is being used in the transaction of selling drugs couldn't the van be taken in as evidence? I forget the legalese for that. I have also heard that Fairley has some apartments listed under the church (tax exempt)

Noway, you asked who does he have to answer to? In terms of the church from what I understand he owns that church--so basically noone.

As for God--well that's a different story. Didn't Jesus take a whip to moneychangers that had turned into a place of commerce.? There's other admonitions about leading people astray and people in that position being held more accountable. But, like Elijah Jones in the paper said there's charlatans and I don't know if he said but I will false prophets.

Someone above said they knew a secret. Please do tell or pm me. I'd like to know.

[JB2379]

I wonder what else this van & church have been used for. I know a secret.
Do tell

[Little-ole-me]

You know the Mayor is a member of that Church. and I'll bet you anything that he knows about all the bad doings that goes on there. Maybe now the Federal Law enforcers will really do some checking into all the churchs businesses. from apartments to the funeral homes to what ever else the Rev. has his hands connected too. Let's Hope

[wilebill]

There's a story on the HA's site now. (http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060719/NEWS01/60719014)

[OLDLADY]

Don't know how to post a link...But HA has a breaking news on Fairley's Bond...check it out or someone post the link please.

[PathFinder]

[citygirl]

...I know a secret.

You can't leave us hanging...spill it!

[Omerto]

I wonder what else this van & church have been used for. I know a secret.

Jane, inquiring minds want to know your secret. :smt102

[58ford]

Hey, Jane, I'll give you a hundred hubbucks to tell us.

[lamarrebel]

Heck, I'd throw in 50,000 hub bucks for this one!

[JB2379]

I'll throw in 3,000 for the secret

[dalo knight]

The mayor seems to be close to a lot of drug dealers. The owner of the High Hat 2000 and Mt Cocaine Church.

[wilebill]

Ut oh...

watch for the good rev to step up his fight now...

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks.

Or nail up pictures.

[dalo knight]

The mayor's wife is the manager of some of those apartments on Old Airport Road. They belong to Mt Sniff sniff Carmel Church.

[sackett22]

Its on the WDAM website now also. Federal Marshals have put a hold on his release until a federal court hearing.
http://wdam.com/Global/story.asp?S=5172255

[dalo knight]

If drugs were found in the Church Van would this be grounds to search the church? We know that this church has had Pot there before

[Little-ole-me]

That's Great news Sackett22. Maybe they will keep him in jail for a very LONG time. Let's see what his Daddy will try and do now. LOL

[daisy]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the FBI gets involved if there is suspicion of corruption,crime through post office, across state lines. would any of this hold water?

[Conveyor Belt]

Doesn't sale of drugs within a certain distance of a church make a harsher penalty or is that just Law and Order law.

[Bahlk]

You know CB i think your right...Im not a pro but churches, schools, and play grounds are "sacred ground" so to speak for higher penalties in drug sale charges.

[Expat in Korea]

You know CB i think your right...Im not a pro but churches, schools, and play grounds are "sacred ground" so to speak for higher penalties in drug sale charges.

Yeah If I remember correctly if the offense happens within 200 yards of a church or school......or playground. I was thinking it was an extra 10 years. I may be wrong but I know the penalty is stiffer!:smt038
*edit*
But after further reading Captain Stevens said the offense didn't take place at the church. So I'm interested to see what happens. I think the Feds will end up pulling his bond on the mortage flipping charge. I think he will be waiting in jail for his trail!!

[justme]

Ok folks here is what could and should go down under some forfieture laws.

If you are arrested for a crime involving drugs. The car you are in, all the money you have on you and all stuff, ie- guns, etc. you have are siezed and a civil forfieture suit is filed so that the government can take your stuff from you and sell it and make money to fund thier departments- law enforcment departments.

This even happens in wild life and fisheries cases. I just was in court and watched a guy who plead guilty to spolighting a deer try to get his gun back in a civil forfieture matter, and the judge denied it. His gun was then the property of the wildlife and fisheries to sell and make money.

The van and all the contents of the van, all the money on the fairly child, and any weapons he had should be siezed. Additionally there is a special statute that increases the penalty for selling drugs within 1500 feet of a church. Last I knew it almost doubled the sentance.

Let me propose this- what if the criminal activities were going on INSIDE the church- I am not sure whether or not the govt can seize the church or if they would want to- but i think it is a possibility.

It has been a while since I dealt with th is stuff as an attorney or law clerk so some of the rules may have changed.

[543LISTguy]

Where are you guys getting that he was in a church van?

I havent seen that.

[wilebill]

I heard a rumor that right after Fairley was brought in to the jail, Wynn called, Dupree called, and the Rev. called, all trying to get the little nut sprung.

I also heard that frantic calls were made to Charles Lawrence, who refused to take them.

I guess now we know why Wynn was late getting to the meeting, and why he refused to say why he was late.

[Booshay]

[Kitty]

. . . Wynn called, Dupree called, and the Rev. called. . .
Wynn to Rev: "Who called?"

Rev to Wynn: "You, me, and DuPree"


:smt006

[nonnegotiable]

I Love Every Minute of this!!! Shucks it won't be long till Fairley will be hollering that the jail house and the law officials are racist because his son couldn't make a phone call while in jail. That will be his next law suit "The jail house is not clean or suffecient enough for the criminals!"

[Kitty]

I Love Every Minute of this!!!

I don't know if even the most creative fiction writer could come up with all of the assorted and convoluted plotlines that keep emerging in this saga called Hattiesburg.

[mikedabiker]

Where are you guys getting that he was in a church van?

I havent seen that.

The HA article clearly stated in a church van on church grounds. The WDAM article had much less detail.

Or was it backwards????????:smt118

Anyway it was a church van and yes it should have been taken by the cops. :smt102

This crap is totally out of hand. It has got to be stopped now.

[nonnegotiable]

Maybe they confiscated the van then Fairley will have to get another ride to carry the voters to the poll and it will be indisposed he won't be able to carry them to register either. I don't think he will have the money to rent a limo since both sons are up on charges! Someone from Fairleyburg will have to check to see if he uses city vehicles to transport the voters.

[543LISTguy]

"The HA article clearly stated in a church van on church grounds. The WDAM article had much less detail."

Please post a link to that HA article...i still dont see it

[wilebill]

You know, how stupid do you have to be to sell cocaine while you're being investigated for mortgage fraud and burglary?

I guess he subscribes to the idea that "my mayor is black and I can do anything I want". Too bad that dog don't hunt with the feds.

[Monkey]

If the American had this story in a brief this MORNING why did it take them seven hours to figure out that this might be a breaking story? We all know the answer to that question. It's disgusting that they can't be unbiased and report on the news in an up front kind of way instead of trying to sweep it under the rug. They are no better than DuPree, Fairley and the whole crew of clowns running this city! It's smoke screens and hush hush tactics all around!

That's why I wish The Independent was still being published. They were never afraid to tackle the city administration. Or the Rev.

[daisy]

I've been hearing some of that mortage-flipping scheme was run through the church--money laundering?

Have ya'll looked at all the property acquisitions on the federal marshall's web site? race cars, motorcycles, power boats, mansions, land ? furs,jewelry,etc; taken in the crimes.
Here is the website http://www.usmarshals.gov/
Someone told me once that's why some drug transporters rent cars.

Yes, a childhood friend's beautiful, expensive show truck was taken 'cause he was shooting at a wooden, decoy deer.

I would wager a guess that there's not many church buildings listed as property acquisitions on the federal marshal's Web site.

[nonnegotiable]

That leads me to my next question what does Fairly have on Dupree for him to support his ethics!

[daisy]

Aren't most officials indebted to campaign managers and contributors?

And they were boyhood friends. Does Dupree go to church there?

[nonnegotiable]

Has anyone seen Dupree on TV showing that he goes to the Sunday Services or is he in Jackson at the Nudie Bars!

[firefly]

I for one believes that the apple(s) does not fall far from the tree! I refuse to call Fairley "Reverend" because in my opinion he is a complete farce & a total disgace to true men of the cloth!

[nonnegotiable]

I agree according to the book of Timothy the Rev would not be a man of the cloth. It states that you must have controll of your household and he doesn't, but what if he does and he does controll his sons he would be consered as the Drug Lord wouldn't he??

[firefly]

Has anyone seen Dupree on TV showing that he goes to the Sunday Services or is he in Jackson at the Nudie Bars!ROFL at that one!!!:smt118

[Maggie-Doodle]

Daisy, I have seen the mayor on the Sunday services several times. I flip channels and several times recently when I was fliiping I saw the mayor..as a matter of fact just this past week. He is a deacon there. IMAGINE THAT!!!

[daisy]

I thought I had heard he went there. I can't imagine what preachers that have preached at that church before it was sold are thinking. Those that are living, I mean. Did anyone notice the tan suit he was wearing as young Fairley was leaving. Was that expensive looking? Crime must pay for them sometimes.

[Conveyor Belt]

I think I understand exactly what's going on here. Whitey got wind of a special election in the works, he made sure to wait til the son was in a church van so they could help stop people being driven from poll to poll, or is that to the polls?

[Maggie-Doodle]

CB I doubt the church van would make a big difference...he still has the limos from the funeral home...and they have several vans over there too

[nooskye]

I always thought that a "crime organization" had everything siezed if they got popped by the police ... and the thrid felony offense counted as the third strike and they were out ... regardless ... and what about conspiracy to cover up, before, during and after the fact ... on the behalf of our "beloved" leaders??? Have they been linked yet??? Wouldn't that be grounds for an imediate recall on ALL of them??? They sure did look awful happy with themselves on the news ... and you're right ... that suit DID look rather expensive ...

[justme]

Ok folks here is what could and should go down under some forfieture laws.

If you are arrested for a crime involving drugs. The car you are in, all the money you have on you and all stuff, ie- guns, etc. you have are siezed and a civil forfieture suit is filed so that the government can take your stuff from you and sell it and make money to fund thier departments- law enforcment departments.

It has been a while since I dealt with th is stuff as an attorney or law clerk so some of the rules may have changed.

i read the news article and appearanly he was on main street- pulle dhim over at the church. so unless he was in the church van... but i think the within 1500 feet of the church may still apply

had to edit this to include: that IF this is the fairly child that was indicted for the emortgage flipping, who was currently out on bond... the commission (being arrested for) of a felony while out on bond is an automatic bond revocation and you don't get back out until they are all concluded. He should not be allowed to bail out of jail period. this is not a "shoudl" it is a "shall"- lawyers know the difference between those two words.

[Sir Mickey Mouse]

I am so glad the HA thought the story was important enough for a front page story... ON SECTION D !!!!! Maybe the story about it raining, but still going to be hot could have been bumped to make room for this??? Most people know that it's July in Mississippi so it may be over 90 degrees with some afternoon thunderstorms.

[justme]

Here is what i just did.. I went to all of the crime reports in the paper- he is not listed as having been arrested on any crime report com monday to today. The good Rev. has kept a report to the paper from happening. or being listed where it could be seen withthe rest of the common criminals

[jmb]

That's proof right there that either the HPD picks and chooses what is released to the press, OR the HA picks and chooses what it wants to print.

[Maggie-Doodle]

JMB; PROBABLY a little of both!!!! However, I DO know that it is the patrol supervisor on duty who gives the info to the paper in most instances.

[Booshay]

Like an icecream truck, cool!
I wonder what kind of music the Mt. Carmel Cocain truck would play?
I want to say "Puff the Magic Dragon" but that would be a Ganja Truck.Remember the Chris Tucker movie "Friday"? Do ya reckon hes rollin in a ice cream wagon that has gold dubs on it like "Big Worm"?

[gilgamesh]

Hate to burst this particular "conspiracy theory" (so many abound, it is hard to keep up) but the crime report is a compendium of crimes reported by local agencies, ie, HPD reports HPD info for Hattiesburg. Fairley was not arrested by HPD (big surprise) therefore, they don't report the crime.

[talkizcheap]

While I do see your point... this was something reported from an 'outside' agency.
But the HB American had the info well in advance, therefore they made decisions about where to place the story. And they decided Rain was a bigger story. I'm not sure I agree with that.

[TheKing]

yeah they just call around to the various police and fire departments before press start and get a roundup of whats going on

theyll ask some questions if they find anything interesting

keep in mind guys, they cant pacify everybody all the time...

despite what we all may think because we frequent the site, the majority of the people PROBABLY could care less about ken fairley and his son getting busted for dealing the coke....

never underestimate the ignorance and complacency of the general public

[kittykat]

Normally Feds let locals in on a bust but apparantly not this time. Wonder if it had anything to do with the last time that wound up with the anonymous source turning over weed to the "good reverend" right after Wynn was informed of the impending bust?

[noway]

With Kenneth Fairley being a "Public Figure", Spokesperson for the Black Community, Senior Pastor of a local Church, and also rummored to be running city hall. Should WDAM & The HA asked him about the arrest of his son on drug charges?

I have not seen the print of the HA or watched the NEWS every night, this could have been asked and I missed it..

[OLDLADY]

Good one, Noway...I agree....someone put the call in.........

[Maggie-Doodle]

Noway, I try to catch the news at least twice a day and I do read the HA daily....to my knowledge I HAVE NOT seen any such questions asked of the rev...I am not holding my breath for them to be asked either. I am beginning to think that both the tv and paper journalist are afraid to ask such questions! Makes me wonder why!

GREAT POINT!! I wondered this myself today!!! Why hasn't anyone talked to the man about this? Reportedly this occurred on HIS church's property and that point alone justifies the local media pursuing comment.
IMO-- the next time he takes center stage in an issue facing the city (this upcoming election, etc.) he should be cornered and asked a series of questions about this federal investigation, by newspaper and TV.

It's all a big conspiracy cooked up and served by Whitey... or haven't you heard?

[newdixiechick]

I am sure that having his son arrested and it being shown on television and mentioned in the paper is an embarrassment... As it would be for any parent to have their child's faults made so public... The apple falling not far from the tree that is true to a certain extent, I do not know the Reverend personally so I cannot speak to his character... But I do know that we have all done some things that we would never voluntarily mention to our parents let alone put on television... A conspiracy by Whitey?? All politicians use their clout just the same as any other person in a position of power.... I venture to say that if a member of our family gets into some trouble we would do all we could and pull every string possible and call in all favors to help them out.... This is only human... If you are dissatisfied with the Hattiesburg American's coverage on the story mention it to them or stop buying their paper......

[noway]

What IM pissed about is the the HA & WDAM are putting a microphone and notebook in front of Fairley when he wants to bash the city council, or tell everyone that "The flavor has changed in Hattiesburg".

Fairley wants to be a spokesperson, leader whatever then he needs to answer the tuff questions and the MEDIA needs to ask them.

Man im pissy today I need to sign off.. :smt006

[Maggie-Doodle]

NOWAY, I agree with you 100%! Couldn't give rep point, had to spread it around, sorry! The HA & WDAM is suppose to be in the "reporting" business but the HA does very little "reporting" on major city events like this...they are however quick to get the revs mug on the front page for other stuff that doesn't amount to a hill of beans....BIASED isn't the word! WDAM doesn't do much better....they both seem to me to dance around alot of issues in this town. It is not a matter of embarrassing someone but simply reporting the news...AND THIS IS NEWS!!! People that don't want their personal lives dissected and gone over with a fine tooth comb should "sit down, shut up and go with the flow" not be somewhere stirring up sh** all the time! As far as I am concerned he is asking for the comments he is getting.

[newdixiechick]

Maybe he learned it from our president.... Seems like he is always "somewhere stirring up sh**",thank goodness his time is limited so that he can "sit down, shut up and go with the flow".... How about we all do what we want because our mayor is black, our president is white and we live in the SOUTH

[lamarrebel]

I'm right there with you Noway. The HA & WDAM are allowing themselves to be used by Fairley to suit his purposes and meet his own personal agenda.

This is not as much about Fairley not answering the tough questions as it is about the media not asking the questions. I know there were media blocks at every angle of city government for the Independent. PR Directors were told blatantly DO NOT TALK TO THE INDEPENDENT and why?

Because they knew the Indy was asking questions they didn't want to answer. So we just wrote the stories without them - I don't guess they ever realized that we didn't have to have their input to write the stories because there were too many other people willing to talk.

In this case the media needs to ask the questions and if he refuses, then put him on record as refusing and go somewhere else to get the story. If you protect your sources, people will talk.


And therein is why I am so sad the Independent is no more. The HA, WDAM, and Lamar Times simply don't have the cojones to ask the tough questions and be critical of malfeasance in government regardless of where it is, that the Independent had. I'm sure there still may be some of this in the South Mississippi Scene, but I have doubts that a monthly format will have the same impact. I hope I am proved wrong.

[daisy]

I was shocked when I read the independent the first time. It covered news the other papers didn't even acknowledge and gave more in-depth coverage of both sides. Queen Mother I bet people were warned about ya'll.

[daisy]

Queen Mother, you would have a hay day with all that is happening now.

[LAGNAF01]

Imagine that a Fairley caught for slinging CRACK COCAINE no you go to be kidding. Now can anybody remember the Load of Weed found in MT. Carmel. Now we know it was not just an accident it was there.
Arrest Fairley He is the KINGPIN behind all the narcotics flow into H'burg.
BAD BOYZ BAD BOYZ WATCHA GONNA DO? I got an idea get out of hattiesburg and move to New Orleans.

[LAGNAF01]

When is the HA going to interview Fairley about his sons drug selling business out of MT. carmel pharmacy.
I heard Mt. Carmel on sundays you could get saved in 1 bldg and high high in the other. OOPPPS i sorry.

[newdixiechick]

I want WDAM to report on ALL drug use going on in hattiesburg especially the meth heads running around the city...They have me scared to be out at night....

[wilebill]

I want WDAM to report on ALL drug use going on in hattiesburg especially the meth heads running around the city...They have me scared to be out at night....
You're right, there is a lot of drug usage in this town by whites and blacks. Unfortunately for the younger Fairley, his wouldn't have been in the news except for the fact his father has decided to make himself a prominent figure in town. There've been plenty of white kids who had problems that made the news only because their parents were well known too. That's the way news works, it's not news if your name is John Q. Public.

[Bahlk]

In news, drug stories are going to get bumped by stories of Mayor Fairley's mortgage flipping, dope dealing sons
