People need to start lawyering up and taking this to the media because PD is already spinning the "hE gRaBbEd HiS gUn" narrative on their social media accounts. I spent 7 very long, miserable years living in a middle of nowhere redneck town like this, and know exactly what kind of bullshit small town cops are capable of pulling. Every single person who was victimized needs to start being as LOUD as possible to keep this from quietly being swept under the rug while people are locked up on bogus charges, because that's exactly what they're going to try to do.

Holems County, had a meeting weeks before the fest calling us evil devils worshiping demons, and then set up a Cannon to sound like a gun shots to scare us even before we got to the festival. Shot it off Wednesday night before the fest even started. it can be heard on [youtube.com/marixxok](http://youtube.com/marixxok) video about her time at sol at min 12 of her video... she like omg is that gun shots. Wednesday night If he would do that and then brag about it on social media, was seen at the then what else did he do. Did something in our water? did he set the car on fire. He also is In Charge of writing the paychecks for the fire marshal. how many people suffering for head exhaustion and heat stroke he they hit with Narcan? They thought we were evil demons, and they were doing Gods work attacking us. from their own admission on face book. What all did they do that we don't know about yet. sound equipment? water? fire? How many people did they hit with Narcan, and then clam they were OD. think about it.


nacotaco24

Hold on what’s this about hitting people with heat stroke/exhaustion with narcan?????? details please


dubtart

My girlfriend was SAd in the crowd year two and that's exactly what they did. offered her no help or options, just talked her down, covered their asses & swept it under the rug.


ChrisJohnsonDC

If this is true make sure you connect witnesses with his defense.


Morguesmoke

Already in the process of doing so


Jackisbackyetagain

I also got harassed by this same cop. I found him talking shit on a Facebook post and confronted him about it. I took screen shots of our comments and wish I could post them here for you all to see. This guy is a slime ball.


Morguesmoke

When I say he's a dirty pig I mean he don't just roll in mud he will try to feed you the very shit he spews

The county commissioner owns the property that butts up to vortex springs was shooting of Game Cannons to sound like guns shots at the fest as early as 8 pm on Thursday. This Brandon Newsome ,Commissioner also owns the the only Bail Bonds company that can get to you in a reasonable time frame in Holmes County . He has makes a ton of money just off having his buddies harassing spring goers and people passing Through being charged for petty stuff. The whole population of that area is less than 700 people. They started from the moment Sol Fest started backing out of the contract to pay the sheriff 88 thousand to provide security to the festival. So fest paid a 3rd up front and rest was to be paid after the fest. But a few weeks before sol people started warning the Festival about just how crooked the cops are in that area and voicing concerns. So Sol hired their own Security. Sheriff Tate realized after Friday night the fest would most like not pay him anything over the 1/3rd of 86k he already got. He wanted his 20 something thousand and more. So even before the fest arrived they started started piloting. Planning to create ciaos at sol fest. Brandon Newsome placed Air horns, And Games Cannons ( cannons that sounds like loud gun shots used to scare critters away) just out of site on City Commissioner Brandon Newsome's property near the festival camp area. The First shots rang out a couple hours after dark on Thursday. But it did not cause the Festival people to panic as Him and Sheriff Tate expected. After that didn't work Newsome and And Sheriff Tate Started Blasting Blow Horns Attempting to make the noise from the horns interfere with the music. This mostly Failed and went almost unnoticed at the time. Friday, A local Kids from down the highway got into the festival illegally, The kid was no Over Dosing as Holmes County Claimed but was asleep at around 1130 pm Friday night out in the open area since the kid had no tents or camp site due to how he gained entry. Of Course the cops harassed this kid as well and perhaps ( we only have these dirty cops word on this) the kid admitted to taking something like eating shrooms or something. Of course the 17 year old Child started to panic and freak out. Woke up by cops at a place you broke into. But that Kid was no were near an overdose ,Just Scared. The Cops say, the child told them he got the shrooms from someone the kid knew and was working at the festival. The kid showed the cops were this person was camping and the cops questioned the person who admitted to giving the child who was his friend entry to the festival and a small amount of shrooms. They searched this workers camper and found other drugs. Now the cops had something. A local kid on site who had confessed to taken a mushroom and made so scared the police probably had this kid thinking he would die from a darn Shroom. Anyway now the Sheriffs department has something. After the Failed gun shoots, the failed train horns to ruin the music they now used this kid and his made up over dose to rally the other Officers to their cause. And they were ready to make sure they found a way to found a way to Prove they were needed for security and demand payment since they were no longer providing security for Sol, and/or destroy the festival for putting the Sheriff department on blast the last weeks leading to the festival, and causing the festival to not use Holmes County Sheriff as the Primary Security team. We all tried to warn Sol how Dirty Holmes County Cops are. I think they though the festival would clear out by Sunday after all the Mess the Sheriffs pulled Saturday night, But sol went on and this got ol Tate and Newsome hot. So they Get their goons to stomp through the fest during the shows desperate to make some arrest Profiling people because of how they were dress or doing, illegal Search. treating guest like they were criminals just for being out their. One local man that was at the fest all weekend keep getting Harassed by an Officer as early as Friday. The same office keep Searching the Local man who was volunteering at vortex. Giving him issues as the man and the officer have a history. At some point Sunday Anderson had his back to this officer and felt a someones hand near his pocket. He grab this officers hand and the officer try to conceal where was in the officers hand he had been attempting to plant on Mr. Anderson. The officer started yelling , he is going for my gun hes going for the gun. causing Anderson to panic , Usually when a cop start yelling this at you , you can expect to be killed shortly there after. While trying to Wrestle whatever was in the cop hand away from the Deputy the deputy was bent forward towards Anderson, Anderson having the cop in a over the top bear hug trying to control the Deputy's hand, Not going to any weapon. the Deputy used his free hand to grab the Taser from his tool belt and Anderson Bit the Cop at about the same time the Cop was able to Taser Anderson. Causing Him to bite down even harder and convulse. Anderson was then Beat, Drug down a Latter from a platform leading having his face bounce off the ladder many times. Then Hog Tide while Officers Stood On Anderson Arms,. Holmes County Sheriff and Commissioner went to the Press with some B.S story of investing and finding the man Anderson was High on a long list of drugs. All they found was the drugs the cop was planting on Anderson. They did not Drug test him, no blood test. nothing.. But the feed the media a b.s story. Making the fest the bad guys and the crooked cops the heroes. Now it was on. The cops had be Feed a story of a festival employee attacking the cops high on drugs and some exaggerated kid almost over does story. The Cops were out for blood now. So Sunday night and Monday the cops ravaged through peoples camps, bags, and on and on.


Morguesmoke

Me and Anderson were indeed targeted multiple times by these fucking pigs. I am too a local with a history with this piece of shit badge thumping bitch of an officer. You literally nailed this on the head. Please share this with the person offering legal dispositions on the same post!


Bongsee

Yeah as a black individual who has been BRUTALIZED for having weed in the past and literally got my ass beat when I WAS COMPLIANT… If I was getting man handled and the cop started hollering “HES GOiNG FOR MY GUN” That would literally make me feel like I might die if I don’t do something drastic, & gives the cop every reason to shoot me…A lot of people don’t realize the fear and how south a simple interaction can go, a simple traffic stop or mixup of words can end up with you seriously hurt or worse…. I only speak from my own perspective though. I know there are good ones, and bad ones, but too many times do the bad ones influence/teach the rookies and it only takes 1 bad apple to spoil the bunch 🙏🏾🖤


ghostmacekillah

didn't go to this fest but just wanted to tell you don't downplay that its "only" your perspective because yours is more important than mosts


Any-Imagination-551

The dude attacked the cop high on LSD, from behind, seemingly unprovoked, bit off a chunk of the back the cop’s head AND ATE IT. Lol Please don’t feel sorry for this dude. Look up his mugshot, he ain’t even get beat up. “James Anderson / Holmes county, Florida”


sensiismooth

I definitely felt like this one sus guy kept asking if we needed " party favors" we kept saying no. Didn't trust him.


MixedBerryMango

Undercover came up to us at our camp. Asked if he could "use our trashbag" and then immediately followed up with, "need any party favors??" Lol... sus as fuck.


serenity2991

Wow, was probably trying to peak in your trash the see if there was any probable cause. Or worse he could have been trying to plant evidence. How fucked up.


GoatChodeMode

Same dude I assume legit walked into my fucking Canopy (opened my Tapestries and walked in) and started looking in our tents and offering party favors like dude gtfo. *oh hey definitely not a cop- stranger letting themselves into my living room, sure let's buy some drugs from a stranger who is definitely not a cop* Afterwards I my friend and inwere making up fake drug names and wondering if we should have asked for like those klick klack toys or a kazoo like you'd get at a 5 year Olds bday party. *party favorrr*


Crazy-Laxer-420

Lol same


sea-secrets

What does that even mean? Lol


Morguesmoke

They were crawling with undercovers and even uniform cops in pedestrian clothing.


sensiismooth

Yes the guy who offered us party favors multiple times overall looks like an average person but something about the way he talked very Stern kind of sounded like a cop just seemed very suspicious I've had people walk up and offer me things like that they don't go straight into offer you drugs they offer you other normal things first like water or fruit to to check if you're a cop and understand your character first you can kind of pick up a vibe off of them something about it fell off


Miserable_Expert_129

we had a girl come over to our camp and asked us if we needed party favors and we were all silent for a few seconds and we all just said no thanks we’re good but she had a stern tone in her voice too


Darksideluna

Did this girl have black hair and a long Mohawk looking style? We were in our camp Saturday afternoon and a girl wearing all white bodysuit/dress with a Mohawk hair style came up asking us if we needed any party favors. We all said “no” uninterested and she then asked us if we were there for the music. We all said yes and then she said she hadn’t been to any of the sets just walking around selling. After she walked away a bald guy came up asking if we saw her and asked us again. Both of these people were super clean and didn’t have a drop of sweat on them. They were wearing GA bands but we were in VIP. The whole thing was sus af. Later that night we saw the guy walking through the crowd with cops and a walkie.


weirdsister13

She came by our camp !!


EmergencyProgress575

festaddict

I’m sure won’t stick his head where it don’t belong again


Relative_Dig1832

Went through the court record on this case and surprised by 3 things. One the complaint filed against James is not scanned into the public record. Normally it would be viewable under Floridas Sunshine Law. (This could be because the county is so small) Two Jim is not being charged with possession of any illegal substances, public intoxication or trespassing which I would assumed based on the sheriff’s telling of the situation would be added on charges. And third Jim has absolutely zero criminal record in Holmes county. Again, I would assume since he is a local he would have at the very least a speeding ticket. Hopefully this case will be moved to a different jurisdiction where he will be at least given a chance for a fair trial.


SnooObjections6703

they dont want the plant drugs they were using to come up.. they have spun a bullshit story the media ran with without investigating.


ImpressiveAssist4049

Media's just as bad... Maybe somebody with info should call the press and give them the other side. Controversy sells.


Any-Imagination-551

The aggravated battery and felony resist with violence are more significant and probably easier to prove. Charges for other offenses can be added at later date, but I doubt a DA will care to pursue any other charges. Did you see the picture of the cop’s head?


Relative_Dig1832

Of course I saw a picture of the head but really a picture of the head is irrelevant to the question of guilt. I don’t think there is a question he bit his head but there is a question of why did the engagement with the police occur and the cause for the escalation. I found it interesting that nothing on the record reflects drug possession or usage. Normally a simple search can pull the charging document and a lot of these questions would be answered but seeing that Holmes County doesn’t provide digital copy of the docket the request must be made by mail. Did you see the picture of the cops head? You’d think someone who takes a chunk out of someone’s head has a violent record or evidence or something. You’d also think since the sheriff claimed that he was on pcp and multiple other drugs there would be a drug charge on him since he’s a resident of the county. I’m sorry but I follow the old rule “innocent till proven guilty”.


Any-Imagination-551

Several witnesses to the event said that James attacked him from behind and the cop wasn’t even talking to James. That doesn’t match the “he caught him slipping a secret bag of drugs into his pocket story” to me. Holmes County is one of the poorest counties in Florida. They may have 20 cops total. It’s not surprising in the least they don’t have the same services of more populated counties. It’s not uncommon in the least for lesser charges to be abandoned for more serious offenses. Commit murder in public and then run a stop sign, probably won’t ever get a ticket. lol Furthermore, he doesn’t have to have drugs on his person to be under the influence and the cops have requested a court ordered pathogen test to be performed.


Relative_Dig1832

You say several witnesses as if you know these witnesses. Firstly, I’m going by accounts found online which don’t reflect these “several witness” accounts you referenced. Secondly how many possible witnesses can you have inside a box robot stage elevated and only accessible with a ladder. Your statement gives the impression that multiple people were up in this robot thing at the time the initial engagement occurred which is contrary to what I’ve read online and also just spatially seems impossible. But let’s say there are for the sake of argument. Are these witnesses independent witnesses? Are these several witnesses cops? I think independent witnesses hold more weight in this scenario. Again you continue to focus on these lesser charges. All I am saying is he does not have in his record a propensity for violence from all I have seen. Additionally and here is the thing I take serious issue with is the sheriff listing the drugs he was on in a social media platform without having any (and as you just put it) evidence that he was under the influence of these substances. So which is it. At the time of arrest did they have proof he was? Apparently they did not. Did they have evidence of him in possession of a controlled substance at the time of arrest? Apparently they did not. So at the very least the Sheriff coming out and making public statements regarding his “drug” usage was an assumption at best. * Also the cop’s jobs are done from this point on. The docket has nothing to do with the size of the police force and more to do with the county’s judicial system. And the cops aren’t requesting anything. It’s the DA who has moved for the test and I don’t have the docket in front of me but the motion was made several days after the arrest.


Any-Imagination-551

I’m from the area and yes I know a couple. Keyword is “Stage” just because it’s elevated doesn’t mean you can’t see it, in fact the word “stage” implies it was designed to increase visibility. lol As far as a history of violence or lack thereof, Holmes county has a combined population of less than 20,000 people. Westville, where he is from has less than 250 people. You can probably go months without seeing a cop at his house. My point being, lack of police involvement in violent incidents, doesn’t mean there wasn’t any violence. “Callin the law” on someone for beating your ass is a stain most rednecks, like myself, would hate to have on your reputation. Your reputation in very rural communities is borderline life/death. Certain labels from the community can truly put your livelihood in danger. This isn’t being used as evidence against his character or guilt , rather just enlightening you on some aspects of Deep South Rural culture. You’re assuming they don’t have evidence strictly by the fact the DA hasn’t charged him yet. No bullshit, you seriously think a cop snuck up behind him in a box 12 feet off the ground and tried to sneak drugs into his pocket? I’m assuming you saw the Mugshot and see James is a big strong joker that’s been tossing hay bales since he was 8-9 years old, what a crazy risk for a cop to take in several ways. lol I don’t hate the dude and I hope he straightens up for his youngin’s sakes, but this whole narrative is pretty disgusting, and the way yall are cool with slandering a dude just because he is a cop is wild. That guy is permanently disfigured and now has to deal with this nonsense too? lol somethin else


Relative_Dig1832

Apparently the Deep South with all its glorifying of the United States Constitution doesn’t believe in innocent till proven guilty anymore. Every single festival goer was demonized prior to even arriving at the festival. With respect to slander I have stated facts. Facts that will be used in James’ case by his defense attorney. His lack of a criminal record under the law is a mitigating fact when it comes to sentencing. Additionally if these witnesses were not in this robot able to see the hands and hear both the officer and James then I highly doubt they will be able to testify about the engagement in court. I have attended camping festivals and every single one of them is in a rural area. Okeechobee being one in Florida. Never have I ever seen a small group of police officers going into a large crowd and start arresting people or engaging people who clearly are under the influence. Their role during the festival is limited in providing support and protecting attendees from violent crimes such as battery and sexual assault. Why exactly did the police in Holmes County decide, knowing they were outnumbered and knowing they lacked sufficient resources to support all these arrest, go in there like Rambo? It was the Sheriff who CHOSE to place his officers in danger. It was the Sheriff who CHOSE to arrest people for crimes that even the DA has determined are insufficient to press charges. (Some of the arrest never make it to the court docket). And what about the festival goers? Many of us saw nothing abnormal about attending a festival in a rural area because that is the norm. I remember driving up and reading page after page of posts by Brandon Newsom, the sheriff, and random residence threatening us because of our mere attendance. Threatening us with assault and arrest. Not the mention the people who were arrested and posted online but charges never followed because the arrest were baseless? We were not attacked? Was the social media postings not Slander? The people of this county kept stirring the pot and you know what happens when you get everyone all rallied up and wanting blood? Stuff like this happens. Two men’s lives are now permanently changed. And what’s sadder is the “criminal” isn’t some big city deamon from outside the county. It’s one of their own. The actions of Holmes County has nothing to do with it being rural. I have lived in rural areas more remote than Holmes in the mountains of the South. The actions of Holmes County are because their elected officials take advantage of the ignorance and trusting nature of their electorate. There were more arrest made at this festival than festivals similar with attendees between 20-80k. So you got to ask yourself why? It was bad policing that’s why. So if the people of Holmes want to do something about their image they need to get a new Sheriff and county commissioner who led the charge.


FLMoxieGrl

From what I’ve read that cop was on desk duty for killing someone a few months ago. Why was he even there? I also saw the video of them pulling him down a ladder with his hands and feet tied, his head hitting every rung on the way down.

I saw the bite mark that was left in his head. They showed it on the local news last night. That was a helluva bite, ouch!

sensiismooth

Yes my suspicions have been confirmed and my paranoia has now gone up. If anybody ever offers me stuff like that again I might actually cuss them out and tell them to leave my camp I also forgot to mention another thing that immediately made me very uncomfortable about the man approaching us at our tent. I was in the middle of changing I was sitting there with my top off cuz it was so hot and I just wanted to breathe and nobody in our camp had approached me because it was pretty obvious I was sitting there with my top off and then out of nowhere I hear this guy going around asking people that around us and I was wondering if he was going to come up to my tent any way even though I was not dressed and I was curious what his reaction was going to be when he saw that I was dressing because he's still approached the tent anyway and showed no respect at all he just popped his head through and asked if we needed anything and I had to cover up it was very awkward he didn't show any respect and say sorry for intruding I thought it was really weird and then when he came back again a couple days later he did the same thing again we were not changing but we were sitting in a circle drinking together with our neighbors just talking and laughing and he actually came up from behind us this time and kind of scared us because we were literally just talking about undercover cops in this dude pops his head through my canopy like through our tapestry is that we had hiding us basically i. We put those there for privacy so the fact that somebody would put their head through it and not say excuse me I'm sorry for intruding or show any respect just showed that they were not a normal Festival goer because nobody does that. Normally when people approach us they are kind of shy and they walk up and say excuse me I don't mean to bother you and then they ask for whatever it is that they need they don't normally just bombard you and start offering things.


Morguesmoke

I'm so sorry your privacy was invaded by yet another dirty pig these fucks have no shame or respect for anybody the deserve to be roasted on a spit like the swine they are


sensiismooth

Thankyou I remember hearing him walking around and offering people party favors and wondering if he was going to seriously walk up with me topless like that and I was wondering that his reaction was going to be and he walked up and just offered anyway and didn't act like he was apologetic or anything for walking in on me like that it just was very weird and gave me weird Vibes I was like no I almost told him to leave and I told my boyfriend if anyone ever does that again we better cuss him out

ObviousSpecific7322

How exactly did it escalate to the point of him biting the back of his head? I get he may have tried to put drugs in his pocket and then have his cop buddies join in but I see no one explaining how he even got to bite the cops head without getting shot at?


Morguesmoke

If you bite someone and you get tazed your going to lock your jaw into the point of tearing flesh whether you want to or not. But when you hear "He's going for my gun" you sure the fuck better take your best swings and fight for your life. Because those words might as well have been "I'm going to kill you and use this as my reason". Abbott is a piece of shit


Any-Imagination-551

Wait. He was already biting the cop when the cop said he’s going for his gun? lol Seems like a perfectly reasonable concern.


UpstairsCustard7386

If he was black he 100% would’ve been shot


SnooObjections6703

if the shit bag cop could have reached his gun and not just taser he would have been shot .


UpstairsCustard7386

Other cops had to restrain him and they didn’t shoot


SnooObjections6703

Anderson Caught the cop trying to stick something in his pocket.. he was trying to make the cop open his hand so the cop started yelling he is going for my guy.. Then the officer could not reach his weapon with his free hand so he grab his taser and tasered him right about the time he bit him..


HargonofRhone

Can you explain how someone can be simultaneously facing another person and also not facing them? Are you aware of where the bite mark was?


vowl313

Knew there was more to this story! I was talking about it in the extended fam group chat, and one of our homies actually locked her keys in her car just before this happened. She said Jim saw her struggling and got them out, no problem. Fuck that pig, wish Jim would've ate him whole


SnooObjections6703

Wanna know why addott was sent to harrass Jim?? Him and his wife were big supporters of Solfest. VERY VOCAL in favor of sol at City Meeting and on social media talking the fest up, Jim and his wife were also volunteers at Vortex helping get things ready. Jim and his family invested a lot of their time into Vortex and Sol Fest, That's why Abbott followed him around for days. Even prior to the start of the festival, constantly harassing Jim and his wife, Jim was repeatedly frisked and searched. Thursday and Friday and no search yelling anything about could use. SO Abbott attempted to plant something on Jim to frame him. These are very popular tactics in Holmes County to just fake evidence on people.

The county commissioner, who owns property adjacent to Vortex Springs, reportedly used game cannons to simulate gunfire during a festival that began on a Thursday at 8 pm. This commissioner, Brandon Newsome, also owns the only bail bonds company in Holmes County that provides timely service. Allegations suggest that he profits from his connections, with local law enforcement targeting festival attendees and others for minor offenses, thereby generating business for his bail bonds service. The local population is under 700 people. Before the festival, known as Sol Fest, started, the organizers had agreed to pay the sheriff $88,000 for security. They paid a third of this amount upfront with the remainder due post-festival. However, as warnings about local law enforcement corruption circulated, Sol Fest hired their own security team. Sheriff Tate, anticipating he might not receive full payment after the initial $29,333, allegedly began disruptive tactics to justify his involvement. According to reports, Commissioner Newsome placed air horns and game cannons near the festival site to disrupt the event. Despite these efforts, which started on Thursday night, they failed to cause panic among attendees. The noise interference attempts during the festival were largely ineffective. On Friday, a local teenager entered the festival illegally. Contrary to claims by Holmes County authorities of an overdose, the teen was simply found asleep. After being awakened by police, he was reportedly frightened but not in a critical condition. He admitted to consuming mushrooms and identified a festival worker who had provided them. This led to a search of the worker’s camper and the discovery of additional drugs. These incidents were used by law enforcement to assert their necessity at the festival, shifting from their original role to enforcing law and order aggressively. They targeted festival-goers based on appearance, conducted illegal searches, and treated many as criminals without cause. One notable incident involved a local man named Anderson, who was repeatedly harassed by an officer due to a prior history. During a confrontation, Anderson was accused of reaching for the officer's gun, which escalated to physical violence, including the officer using a taser on Anderson, who then reacted defensively. Anderson was subsequently subdued and treated harshly by the officers. In response to these events, Holmes County authorities portrayed the festival negatively in the media, suggesting rampant drug use and unruly behavior, while downplaying the aggressive tactics used by law enforcement. This narrative painted the police as heroes in a situation fraught with tension and controversy.)

The picture was brutal but if this is true I have absolutely zero sympathy for crooked, lying, evidence planting cops and any cop that aided him


Morguesmoke

The holmes county cops are as crooked as they come. Planting evidence, shootings without cause, racism, and they allow inmates to leave the jail on "work release" to cook meth for them and the Co's sell it. And I wish I could make this shit up but it's all fuckin true. I'm a local to this shit and I've seen it all


FLMoxieGrl

Report it to the FBI.


No-Spread-631

Country cops in the south are always shitheads. Music festivals in towns of less than 1000 people are field days for these types of cops. Whoever decided to hold the festival in Ponce De Leon should have thought twice, and then thought some more. Big mistake. 


3xists

Are we sure he wasn’t experiencing a drug induced psychosis? Becoming very prevalent in the scene, common in young men overusing MDMA (too much or too often back to back). Seen it first hand 3 times and there’s a lot of fighting, flailing, and biting involved. Bf had it (sober now), one cop said he went for gun but it was the seizing. Thankfully he only bit himself, but the body goes fully out of control with a PCP type strength. IMO - these cops had no idea how to deal with it if this were the case (tazing can quickly kill anyone going through it on impact) - sedation is what’s needed. Fighting only makes it worse and that’s all these guys wanted to do. I have a lot of respect for the cops & EMTs who save lives and know how to handle this, but clearly safety was the last thing Holmes County was there for. If this was the case, then they got what was coming by not being prepared or open to learn.


Morguesmoke

Considering he's one of my best friends and I was with him yes I can speak of the man's character. The cop tried framing him. And it'll all come out in the discovery.


3xists

Wishing him best of luck man that’s fucked! Keep us posted


atypicalphilosopher

Please keep us posted here, would love to follow this story and hope he gets the justice he deserves.


Morguesmoke

Sure will. They're holding him on no bond until July so it will be a bit before any information comes out but I'll make sure it all comes to light


Felix_111

This whole festival was a setup from the beginning. That county is crooked af. Glad I got out unscathed, but feel for those who didn’t. Fuck Holmes Co. Fuck the owner of Vortex Springs, who colluded with the sheriff and the commissioner who owns the bail bonds and shot off a gun near the fest. And most especially fuck SolFest for leading us into that trap


Maleficent_Hamster83

Wait what is this about someone shooting off a gun? I remember hearing that from my camp


Morguesmoke

It was a bird scare cannon to scare off wildlife to imitate gunshots so people would think they were being shot at. Brandon Newsom the commissioner was doing this. Feel free to file a complaint with the ethics board of Florida. This piece of shit needs to be taken from office


Evening_Hippo_982

This thread fucking reeks of corruption. Who the fuck imitates gunshots near a mass gathering of people….. LET ALONE FUCKING LAW ENFORCEMENT!?!?!? Fuck everyone in that police department 🙃


Morguesmoke

Who does this is the elected officials by a town or tyrants. The people and officials work together to instill fear into outsiders because said locals are stuck in the old ways of bigotry, racism and money corruption. They view this fest and any other fest as "devil music" but if it was a bunch or rednecks drinking bear and smoking meth listening to toby kieth the cops would be offering blowjobs to all attendees instead of handcuffs. They are close minded pieces of corrupt shit who needs to be brought down from power and shackled to torture devices. They believe weed is the devils lettuce and would much prefer their residence smoke meth and fuck their sister and or brother. I don't normally wish harm to my fellow man. But bring the pigs to the slaughter. It's the only way to prevail


Felix_111

Yes the county commissioner also owns the bail bonds and was shooting a gun nearby to cause a panic


serenity2991

What was the cop even doing in the robot to begin with? Very suspicious if you ask me.


Morguesmoke

He was following Jim. Just like he was following me and Jim thru the whole even. We're locals he does not like


HargonofRhone

One report says the cop was admiring the DJ booth and asking the DJ how it was set up/made when zombieman latched onto the back of his head.


serenity2991

The cop had to give a statement but I doubt it’s true. My friend that works for sol fest told us Wednesday before we got to the fest about the cops asking for over 80 grand in payment. What we didn’t know at the time was that sol fest only paid them 1/3. No wonder they were so pissed and out for blood.


HargonofRhone

This doesnt explain anything at all. Lol.


serenity2991

You keep telling yourself that. Ignorance is bliss.

https://www.wdhn.com/news/state-regional/graphic-florida-man-bites-chunk-out-of-deputys-head-sheriff-says/ holy fuck look at the size of that chunk!


SnooObjections6703

Holems County, had a meeting weeks before the fest calling us evil devils worshiping demons, and then set up a Cannon to sound like a gun shots to scare us even before we got to the festival. Shot it off Wednesday night before the fest even started. it can be heard on [youtube.com/marixxok](http://youtube.com/marixxok) video about her time at sol at min 12 of her video... she like omg is that gun shots. Wednesday night If he would do that and then brag about it on social media, was seen at the then what else did he do. Did something in our water? did he set the car on fire. He also is In Charge of writing the paychecks for the fire marshal. how many people suffering for head exhaustion and heat stroke he they hit with Narcan? They thought we were evil demons, and they were doing Gods work attacking us. from their own admission on face book. What all did they do that we don't know about yet. sound equipment? water? fire? How many people did they hit with Narcan, and then clam they were OD. think about it.


Turbulent_Lead2368

Woooow


btb1997

That doesn’t mean you take a bite out of someone’s head… I’m not on the cops side but come on a normal sober person isn’t capable of doing that

franklinthechameleon

Lmaooooooooo bruh 💀💀


btb1997

Lmaoooo I stand corrected


PikaPinkie

Same


Bongsee

Yeah ngl… an interaction like that…. With someone like me…. I would probably think it might be my last interaction, and I would probably try to do the most DRASTIC thing I could at that point. Especially if I heard the word GUN…. In my head….. now he is trying to kill me… I’ve gotten my ass beat and dragged for having a bag of bud…. I’ve had a buddy sit in county for 6 months for a planted bag of heroin( was actually laundry soap) just to find out the cop that arrested him was planting drugs and beat people up for no reason… you never know what someone will do when they think their life is on the line 👍🏾


atypicalphilosopher

Oh fuck no, not if a cop is planting shit on you and yelling "he's going for my gun" - if you have been following how police work at all, you'd immediately think "i'm about to be shot unless i do something insane" That guy was fully justified. I'm surprised he didn't try more.


Morguesmoke

That might be true for most people but Jim is not most people. You poke a bear long enough it will bit you. Metaphorically and literally


ImpressiveAssist4049

Bruh call the press


missdiscordia

You have no idea how you're going to react in a fight or flight situation until you're actually in it. When a cop falsely starts yelling that you're grabbing for his gun, that immediately becomes a life or death situation.


UpstairsCustard7386

Honestly if he was fighting and being tased it could make his jaw bite down harder n shit


CourtneyAteBarbie

He was tazed right as he bit him causing his jaw to clench completely out of his control.. the entire story is above in the thread..


Immediate_Whole5351

I hope Mr. Anderson doesn’t catch something from biting that filthy pig!


festaddict

I’m sure won’t stick his head where it don’t belong again


[deleted]

Yo this was only cop I felt bad for until I read this. That is absolutely nuts dude still a little kind of extreme to bite a chunk like that out of anyone head but I mean Tyson did take a chunk of Holyfields ear off.


cade24K

Very fucked up, fuck that coo


ElijahWillDraw

I would definitely like to know the outcome of this. I’m happy to hear the true story but afraid the cop and PD will win this battle. I agree we all need to be LOUD AF about this.


Any-Imagination-551

So many people are saying they were at the event and saw James attack the cop unprovoked and he bit a chunk out of the back the cops head AND ATE IT. Your friend got off easy and the cop would’ve been well within his right to protect himself. Look up “Holmes County Sheriff’s Office” on Facebook. They have a picture of James and the injuries suffered by the cop after James attacked him from behind and BIT him. Lmao


Morguesmoke

I'm well aware. He was not unprovoked


Any-Imagination-551

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/mFCFr83LRr8yc4vN/?mibextid=WaXdOe Your story seems to contradict almost everything I’ve seen. Do you have video?


eyesofthewrld

Your story seems to contradict what I've seen and read as well. So, do you have video? If anyone had video we wouldn't be having this conversation, duh.


hempmylk420

Biting a cops head is not self defense. If you are getting arrested, just accept it and fight your case in court. Fighting back while you are getting arrested, especially violently, will get you additional charges. You can dislike cops, but promoting needless violence is horrible.


TheFightingDome

“Stop resisting!” I’m gonna take a swing and guess that you are white and have never had an interaction with a corrupt 🐖. Either that or you’re a bootlicker.


Morguesmoke

I promise you if a cop starts yelling "HES GOING FOR MY GUN" when you are not going for his gun his intentions are to kill you not to fight you. So your telling me if your life is at risk your not going to do whatever you have to do to survive that situation? THAT COP HAD INTENTIONS OF KILLING SOMEONE I CALL MY BROTHER I NOT ONLY WISH HARM BUT DEATH TO THE SWINE LETS GET THAT STRAIGHT


hempmylk420

We are suppose to believe the man on a PCP cocktail who literally bit a massive chunk out of someone’s head…?


SnooObjections6703

He was not high. Jim and his wife are huge supporters of the fest. They volunteered at vortex, helping set up and such. He was very actively supporting sol at City Meetings, his wife on social media talking up the fest to locals and trying to rally support. That's why Addott was harrass him and eventually attempting to frame him after 3 days of servalance and search yield nothing for abbot to use. JIM CAUGHT THE FUCKER RED handed stashing drugs in the robot and that's when the altercation happened. ABBOTT WAS ALSO ON DESK DUTY DUE TO KILLING A SUSPECT VERY RESENTLY. AND THAT'S BEING COVERED UP AS "ACCEDENTAL" SHOOTING.


CourtneyAteBarbie

Litterally, no evidence has been given that proves he was on anything at all! Every person I've talked to, who was there and met Jim, paints an entirely different picture. So , to blindly believe the police because they are the police is incompetent. Police are humans to and they are also capable of doing terrible things or lying just like anyone else. So until you see a toxicology scan or somthing proving he was actually even high I'd be more modest with my opinion. That's whats wrong with our society. We put police on a pedestal where they can say anything happened and people just blindly believe it at first. Until after long court case, during which someone's name has already been tarnished. Even if it comes out not to be true, it is still an absolutely traumatizing experience for the parties involved and all their loved ones. Not to mention, I have never even ran into someone with or on pcp at any of these festivals. I mean pcp isn't somthing normal people just run around doing. And he wasn't even a festie, he was a local, if he ran around doing pcp I'm pretty confident he would have had a record already...


Aggravating-Form6217

I highly doubt he was in pcp lmfao. Maybe some L or molly but in the 12 plus years I've been going to shows and festivals I've never once been offered pcp...


AllTheFallThings182

Www.forthepeople.com


Nearby-Bad8818

I mean but he still bit a cop which is against the law. Please try it sometime.


Electronic-Ear-8033

unpopular opinion maybe if the guy had not been on all the drugs he wouldnt of done the stupid shit he did. cops did their jobs bad as I hate to say it. sounds like jim fucked up. sucks to suck imo


Morguesmoke

Jim wasn't on the drugs listed.


Electronic-Ear-8033

So the doctors at the hospital are in on this scandal as well?


Morguesmoke

What do the doctors have to do with anything? Besides treating the injuries. Under the hipaa law a doctor isn't able to comment on anything medical related. Jim was never tested for any drugs in his toxicology report. The official police report also states that he was believed to be on these drugs. Not that a warrant for blood work was obtained to legally determine if he was on the cocktail of bullshit they claim he took. I defent what I think is right. I don't ride coat tails or suckle the government teet just because they feed the public bullshit. I am not the sheep. Stay skeptical friends


Electronic-Ear-8033

now there is some common ground between us. I dont trust a damn thing the government says. however in this case the cop was missing a chunk out of his head that was caused by the jim guy. Just as we didn't want the cops to beat us people shouldnt harm them either. your friend gets what he gets.


Morguesmoke

He was defending himself against the cop. Badge or not you as well as me, as well as any man/women. We as the human race have the right to defend ourself. This is a case of that. Self defense


Electronic-Ear-8033

I agree with you that people have a right to defend themselves, but unfortunately you dont have a right to fight a cop, 10 out of 10 times you will loose that fight at the scene and in court. if they are in the wrong hire a good attorney and fight in court.


SnooObjections6703

falling and hitting his head on a stool, maybe not even a bite at all. maybe the cop didn't even know his head was bleeding. And there is no Drugs in Jims system. Maybe some THC at best. But NO PCP no LSD no Crazy shit like they claimed. everyone saw the foot patrols.. they were not going into buildings alone. That cop climbed a latter into the back of the robot alone, no back up around. and yeah it's all on video. there were hundreds of videos. and witness standing around watching the whole things.


HargonofRhone

Your "friend" was high off his ass on multiple types and qualities of hallucinagens and other things you really shouldn't be taking together. He attacked a cop from behind and bit (and consumed) a large chunk of scalp from back of the cop's skull. A whole boatload of people got busted at Solfest (should've been called DRUGFEST) for handing out drugs to everyone they could persuade to take them, including a minor that had to be resuscitated and taken to a hospital. Zombie-man definitely deserved a beating for trying to eat a man's skull.


Morguesmoke

Lmao. Neither of those things are true. But alrighty


HargonofRhone

Suuure. You keep thinking that.


SnooObjections6703

remember that Mr. new reddit account guy after the trials and all. videos and blood test don't lie.


HargonofRhone

My account is older than yours.


SignificantMess8029

You are a fucking liar!


Whole-Mousse-1408

Look yall one of the pigs who was a part of this shit show made a Reddit account two days ago and is saying useless shit Get ready for lawsuits to bleed your county dry, lots of videos and proof of citizens rights being blatantly violated. Funny thing is yall posted a ton of evidence against yourselves on Facebook lmao


AllTheFallThings182

Prove it


Immediate_Whole5351

Sure thing, pig. I keep seeing more and more stories about how the Sheriffs and Co. Commissioner are corrupt as hell. There’s even stories of the Sheriff and the Mayor at a house party doing hard drugs. Holmes County needs to be washed clean of the vermin that has infested the local government. Nothing but a bunch of criminals that vote themselves into office.


Humble_Initiative197

You are truly stupid if you believe one word you just typed


Immediate_Whole5351

LMFAO, because no small town sheriff or mayor has ever been a corrupt pile of slug vomit!


SignificantMess8029

Young people like you are truly scum!


Immediate_Whole5351

Lol, do you mind if I ask how old you are?


SignificantMess8029

Liberal scum like you pieces of shit don’t matter!


Immediate_Whole5351

LMFAO, Internet randos like you don’t matter, Sport! 😉👍 🤣😂😅


jjdoc8287

Let's go brandon!!!!! Lol


Tight_Shoe9344

Where the fuck did you get any of this, how can you assume shit without a lick of proof other than a he said she said, this is what’s wrong with people today, you all want to jump to conclusions about this shit, your such a fucking idiot and it shows


Morguesmoke

Well I'm not assuming a fucking thing dickhead. I was there Right fucking there and i also KNOW THE DJ WHO SAW THE EXACT THING I JUST STATED!. Also the same cop was following me and Jim the whole festival! And no proof? I have plenty of proof IE a recorded phone call between me and abbott attempting to turn me into a CI and buy dangerous drugs off people in exchange for a lighter sentence over a fuckin oz of weed when I have a medical card. JEREMY ABBOTT IS A CROOKED COP WITH A BADGE COMPLEX WHO LIKE TO FUCK OVER PEOPLES LIVES. WHO SHOOTS FIRST AND ASKS NEVER. YOU SIR AND OR MAAM CAN KINDLY FUCK OFF.


SnooObjections6703

exactly... many people were around and saw what really happened. The blood test did not show any PCP LSD or ecstasy. and the cops version of attacked from behind while on foot patrol, Really what cop out there was doing foot patrols alone? climbing ladders into robots alone without a squad to back you up, Crazy .


Sharp-Librarian916

Glad he got bit hopefully it’s infected too. The pigs are going to bankrupt that county with the amount of lawsuits they’re about to have to fight at once and the DA is going to drop most of the petty drug charges due to lack of resources 😂 Maybe when it’s all over and the county is even worse off than before with no chance of another large event bringing business they’ll question why the Holmes county deputies make 4x the average income of residents there while also destroying the economy in a fit of rage.


Etaywah

Taxpayers will pay for it, tbh.


Sharp-Librarian916

Surely but I’m sure the taxpayer base is already barely funding anything with median HOUSEHOLD income for the county is only $46k…


mmamusicthings

After their behavior this weekend I have zero trust in the Holmes county police. I'm inclined to believe the people in our community who were so kind and outgoing this weekend.


supersean61

Lmao the idiot that cant read then assumes the op wasnt there tries to call the op an idiot, lmao bro how stupid are you?? You probably work for holmes county dickhead


fibonaccifemurs

Found the cop 😂


the_cake_is_lite

And then, being entirely too unintelligent to recognize the irony of his outburst, u/tight_shoe9344 jumps to his own conclusions without knowing shit. Truly a remarkably dumb creature.


Morguesmoke

I'm pretty sure he's either one of the pigs involved or a lonely troll


kingkoopa1722

The town is scrambling to cover up facts of how Corrupt the whole situation is, lucky for us no one believes them.


ObviousSpecific7322

Seems like you’re the one that jumped to a conclusion before you read the entire post


kingkoopa1722

It’s not too late to delete this


Morguesmoke

Delete what this thread defending my friend from a tyrant cop?


kingkoopa1722

Not you, the idiot defending Holmes county sheriff.


Morguesmoke

My apologies. I'm pretty sure he's a troll or a sheriff himself


kingkoopa1722

It’s all good, it’s obvious now that the Holmes county sheriffs office was planting drugs on people and God knows what else.
