Jamal Parris, One of Bishop Eddie L. Long's Sexual Coercion Accusers, Busted in Florida for Possession of Marijuana

Jamal Parris, one of Bishop Eddie L. Long's accusers in gay sexual coercion scandal, busted in Miami Beach for driving without tags and possession of 181 grams of marijuana and a Taurus semiautomatic handgun.

One of Bishop Eddie L. Long's sexual coercion accusers, Jamal Parris, was reportedly busted in Florida for possession of marijuana. Yeah, I can hear Creflo Dollar and the supporters of Bishop Long saying that's what you get for messing with the Bishop. Not! According to the AJC, Parris was driving a white 2011 BMW in Miami Beach Tuesday evening when he was pulled over by a Florida Highway Patrol officer, who noticed the vehicle had no tags. Wow, that's really smart, right? Crazy. There's more:

Sgt. Seth Dubinsky stopped the car. When he approached it, he smelled marijuana, he told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday.

Dubinsky searched the car and said he found 181 grams of marijuana, which is worth about $1,000 on the street. He said he also found 50 clear plastic baggies and a Taurus semiautomatic handgun. He said Parris also was carrying $1,250 in cash.

The gear was "indicative of a drug dealer," Dubinsky said. Parris was arrested and jailed. He was charged with two felony counts: possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm while committing a felony. He also was charged with operating a motor vehicle with no registration, a misdemeanor. It was unclear late Thursday whether he was still in custody. The car was seized, and passenger Jeremy Jouvanni Gordon, 20, of Miami was arrested on a drug paraphernalia charge. Source

Well, now we know where Jamal Parris' new found wealth is leading him, down a path to sure destruction. It will be interesting to hear how Bishop Long and his people will spin this story. It is interesting to note he told the officer he bought the BMW with "money from a settlement." It is painfully obvious that this young man needs help. The first order of business after this case was closed was some type of counseling which it seems he never received. Where are the people in his corner? They need to help him get his life in order. The gun charge alone could land him in prison for years and what good will that do? Sad, sad, sad situation.
