We already knew he couldn't read, but damn, I guess he doesn't know the laws either.

That guy had a recruiting war fought over him.

You could just watch his tape and know he had an NFL ceiling.

Shame his life took this turn.

Hoping there is more to this story. Hope it isn't just blind kidnapping.

Apparently Powe and an accomplice forced the victim to withdraw money from a bank. The accomplice also was hit with some kind of drug charge. Not good.

I was wondering that. Was wondering, is the "accomplice" his girlfriend and is the kidnapped person actually his kid, i.e., domestic child custody drama blown into something...


But it's not. The accomplice is some other dude, and the kidnapped person was forced to withdraw money from their ATM account. So I don't think Jerrell is a victim of the prison industrial complex here.

Could be as simple as “hey man you got that money you owe me” “nah man we need to go to the bank so I can pull out the cash” “alright where you at I’m coming to get you” arrive at the bank “mr banker I’m being forced to withdraw money against my will please help”

Was the ransom note written with a crayon, or did someone else write it for him?

could be


lots of low-income-family guys who make it in professional sports are subsequently hounded viciously by "friends" and family to loan them money or give them money


That's truly why many of them go broke.

Your post is merited

Or, it could be "Powe is a criminal and is gonna have to do some hard time."

I mean, it's a helluva lot more plausible than the shite you came up with.

Didnt they say they went from Laurel to Ridgeland? If so, I don't see this being how it played out. That's a long drive for an ATM withdrawal.

Jerrell Powe Arrested
------------------------------------------

Anything to make yourself feel better about your hidden past and the things you didn't get caught doing right? He is still a human being with faults and hasn't received the help he needs to be a better human being. You pointing that out doesn't make society better... why don't you post something about yourself that you've done wrong and the past and we can all past judgement on you...

I met him a few times around campus. He was a nice guy. He was shorter than I expected.

That's all I got.

Mississippi Today

This is a story on the Powe kidnapping situation - would imagine he gets off and the guy he "kidnapped" ends up in jail

"A group of ill-advised businessmen and investors, including one of Mississippi’s own star athletes and former NFL player Jerrell Powe, were done being jerked around.

Several of them hopped on a conference call the afternoon of Wednesday, Jan. 11. On the line was a guy they call the ultimate con artist, 28-year-old Bryce Mathis.

Everyone on the phone agreed: Mathis owed them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nearly a year of lies had finally caught up to him.

“We were all just like, ‘Look, we want our money back, Bryce. We want our money back,’” said Rob Howard, an investor in Mathis’ medical marijuana start-up and one of the individuals on the call. “And then he said, you know, ‘I just wanna make this right. I’m tired of doing all this stuff. I just wanna come clean and be done with this. It’s too stressful.’”

During the call, Mathis, Powe and a marijuana grower from California were traveling in a rented Tesla from the southeast Mississippi town of Laurel to the Chase Bank in Ridgeland, the Jackson suburb 100 miles away, where they said Mathis told them he’d stashed their money."

"The alleged kidnappers apparently didn’t have any restraints, nor did they wield a weapon. Not a material one, anyway.

“Brute strength was the weapon,” McDonald said.

Mathis’ story goes that Powe – the 6-foot-2, 330-pound former nose tackle for the Ole Miss Rebels and later the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs – slept on top of Mathis’ legs in the hotel bed to prevent him from escaping in the night."
