SUMMARY: The FBI has served search warrants on Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, raising suspicions among Jackson City Council members Ashby Foote and Vernon Hartley about prior meetings they had with Owens before the warrants were served. Both council members recall meetings with Owens and individuals posing as developers, making them wonder if these gatherings were part of an FBI sting operation. The FBI later searched Owens’ office and a cigar shop he owns, as well as visited City Hall. Both councilmen found the developers’ presentations unimpressive and questioned if these individuals were undercover agents.
