An arrest was made Friday afternoon in connection with an incident that allegedly occurred after last Tuesday night’s Town of Jonesboro’s Board of Aldermen meeting, according to the booking log of the Jackson Parish Sheriff’s Office (JPSO).
Willie Joseph, of Quitman, was charged in a warrant with simple battery for allegedly elbowing an individual in the hallway of the W. Richard Zuber City Hall.
Joseph was bonded out on $2,500 the same day by Anthony Anderson of Anderson’s Bail Bonds.
The arresting officer was Wayne Smith of the Jonesboro Police Department.

Hope he has fine money because he IS NOT a town employee!
08/20/2012 at 12:14 pm |
he was a town employee at one time…unsure if he is now..
08/20/2012 at 11:24 am |
Bet somebody from Jonesboro put him up to it. There would be no other reason for someone from the Quitman area to take a chance on being arrested for something that didn’t accomplish anything other than intimidation.
08/20/2012 at 7:19 pm |
Guess they probably found a “patsy” for their cause. If this is true, I feel sorry for Willie Joseph. He just may be in a heap of trouble.
I agree with what you said. Willie was probably set up for the fall guy for the wants of Thompson, Dill and the 4 other pickles…….not Renee S. though. Since Willie is from Quitman, why would he put himself in this position? Did he want to be arrested, jailed, make an appearance in court at some point, etc.? I do not think so. Could he have been PAID to do this? Was he that dumb?
08/20/2012 at 8:41 pm |
That is his demeanor much like all the “that’s right”, “hmmm.hmmm” crap that goes on all during the meeting and no one calls them down. I am glad he was arrested so now everyone knows they cannot continue to get away with this type of behavior. If you wish to act like an idiot, you will be treated as such.
08/21/2012 at 4:22 pm |
If it is as you state, then absolutely arrest him.
D.J. carry it to the bitter end.
08/27/2012 at 1:34 pm |
well, since the JPD arrested little willy his name won’t be on the sheriff’s list of arrests, how convenient for him………..keep it on the down low for da brotha
08/20/2012 at 12:39 pm |
If our DA dosent do his job an prosecute Thompson, I am afraid things are going to fester into something serious an people are going to get seriously injured.
08/20/2012 at 12:40 pm |
This is sad and messy
08/20/2012 at 12:42 pm |
sure that this will be run thru district court – no JB involvment…
08/20/2012 at 2:03 pm |
It was a Jonesboro Police arrest but will be in district court.
08/20/2012 at 2:31 pm |
Heard that D.J. was not the only one that guy “bumped” after the meeting. If that is true, there may be other charges coming.
08/20/2012 at 2:33 pm |
Or they could be part of this same charge, and tacked on as an addendum.
08/20/2012 at 4:28 pm |
explain how that works, separate individual but additional charges to a charge that has already been executed via arrest and added as an addendum to a specific charge as noted above? Explain that one.
08/20/2012 at 4:50 pm |
No..apparently theyhave no clue. If more than one person there would be more than one “count” for each person “battered”
08/20/2012 at 5:47 pm |
This sits on your back mayor thompson. You, dill, the simmons, flowers and cottonham all share responsibility for continually stiring racial unrest with your race baiting comments and videos. You can call yourselves the “jberry 6” since you were so proud of hiring the “jena 6” lawyers. Better get to work on raising a defense fund cause the town will not be paying these bills.
08/20/2012 at 8:04 pm |
I have said it once I will say it again, Racism will end when racists allow it to! The mayor and his band of idiots have no other excuse for their screw ups except, “Whitey dont like us!” Get over it you crooked theives.
08/20/2012 at 9:20 pm |

08/21/2012 at 8:19 am |
Top Cop aka God Child aka Educated-why are you now disrespecting an entire community by using their name? You are out of your (jurydiction) when you sit at the table and make your crazy noises and head rolling motions….. you were out of your (jurydiction) when you cashed a certain check, you were out of your (jurydiction) when you called mr allen out of the meeting and tried to intimidate him…..you are out of your ( jurydiction) every time you try to write a complete sentence. You claim to be a Godly man, you should try to practice what you preach, then you can start pointing your sick finger at others. Clean up your own ( jurydiction) before you judge others, Top Cop aka God Child aka Educated and now aka Brown Grove.

Its amazing how you guys are so blind to fact that Jonesboro is built on racism. You guys go to church every Sunday and pray to your Gods and then say you love your neighbor you guys are hypocrites and I can’t wait til judgment day when God calls you out and tell you about life you the racist life you lived I promise you there will not be a mansion for you.
08/21/2012 at 10:08 am |
Hey dummy, he wouldn’t have been arrested if he hadn’t done it. Wesley is still the Chief and Wayne is still there. Y’all sorry rats are pulling out all the stops now that the heat is on your sorry hides. The event happened in Jonesboro and Wesley is in his “jurydiction” to arrest him in Quitman.
08/20/2012 at 9:43 pm |
Guess Joseph thought he could get by with anything since there was not supposed to be a police department. Did he get fooled!
08/21/2012 at 5:20 am |
To CTIC and his “little turds”……….It is better to remain silent and presumed ignorant than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!!
08/21/2012 at 8:41 pm |
Thinks this might be the one who just re-striped the streets in Jonesboro just this last month. The name I remember seeing on the truck when they were working was “Willie’s – something or other”. Wonder if he’s been paid yet??
08/22/2012 at 11:10 am |
I thought he was disabled?
08/22/2012 at 11:32 am |
everyone’s disabled when it is convenient and gets them a check
08/23/2012 at 8:10 am |
Isn’t that the truth!
08/22/2012 at 8:40 am |
I see where some state agencies have put GPS tracking on the state department autos and it has caused good things regarding accountability of time.
Would this be possible for the town owned automobiles?
08/22/2012 at 10:52 am |
The jackson parish ambulance service put GPS.
09/01/2013 at 8:34 pm |
You seem to have some issues ha ha YOU HAVE A BLACK MAYOR AND YOU CAN’T STAND IT. YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN OFF YOUR HOODS ( SOME OF YOU GUYS). LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE WHY ARE YOU ANONYMOUS. OH THAT’S RIGHT ON HERE CAN’T WEAR YOUR HOOD. I FEEL SORRY YOU GUYS.
08/22/2012 at 11:45 am |
Why the JP ambulance service?
08/22/2012 at 5:29 pm |
So they can keep up with them
08/22/2012 at 6:00 pm |
Maybe to cut down on all the lunch and supper breaks they tend to take at the different restaurants!
08/22/2012 at 11:04 pm |
Do you eat regular meals in the comfort of your own home? I pray you don’t have to have JPA service but if you do I know they will put down their fork and be there for you. GET A LIFE AND LEAVE THESE PEOPLE BE!
08/23/2012 at 2:31 am |
Point is if it is good enough for the ambulance service then it’s good enough for the CTIC!!!!
08/23/2012 at 7:56 am |
How did we jump to JPA????
08/23/2012 at 7:58 am |
Why don’t we leave our home town people that save lives and>>> DO THEIR JOBS THEY ARE PAID TO DO<<<< out of this city hall mess and bond together for the for a positive change for Jonesboro.WE all have a Vote from the office of Mayor,Judge,D.A. And Rep.So use your vote and your prayers to change things.
08/23/2012 at 2:44 pm |
I bet if the voter records were checked, most of the people making comments have never voted. Just saying, by not voting, you helped elect the ones in office.
08/23/2012 at 11:31 am |
Ambulance service in Jonesboro is one thing that I thought would escape criticism on this website. As far as I know, there has never been an instance in which they failed to respond immediately, and I think this is a good time to let them know how much we appreciate them. There is no comparison between what they do and what is being done in Town Hall now.
08/23/2012 at 12:16 pm |
At least they can get an audit, what has Jonebsoro had in four years? NO OPINION!
08/23/2012 at 1:13 pm |
The ambulance service does well because it has good leadership through its board of directors. Can’t say the same for Jonesboro.
08/23/2012 at 2:13 pm |
Y’all take everything the wrong way. The comment about the GPS tracking was if one public service can get it why not all of the public services. Is it cause all of y’all are trying to start SH**?????
08/27/2012 at 6:49 pm |
It’s already been started — six years ago.
05/28/2013 at 3:30 pm |
