FBI raids Hinds County DA’s business, office

by Jerry Mitchell May 22, 2024

On Wednesday morning, the FBI raided a cigar business owned by Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens II as well as his office at the courthouse.

Downtown Cigar Company is located just blocks from the Hinds County Courthouse, where Owens serves as prosecutor.

“The FBI is executing federal search warrants at multiple locations,” FBI spokeswoman Marshay Lawson said in a statement. “The affidavit in support of the search warrants has been sealed by the court, and so I am prohibited from commenting further. There is no threat to public safety.”
