Gun-Toting White Woman Fired By Mississippi Campground After Threatening Black Couple On Camera [Watch]

Kampgrounds of America, a chain that oversees hundreds of commercial campgrounds nationwide, has confirmed that the property manager for the Starkville location in Mississippi has been fired after she threatened a black couple with a gun because they did not have a reservation.

On Tuesday, spokesman Mike Gast told The Associated Press that the unidentified white woman was no longer employed with the company, adding that Kampgrounds of America “does not condone the use of a firearm in any manner.”

Jessica Richardson shared video on Facebook of she and her husband’s tense moment with the rabid, gun-toting white woman. In the caption, Jessica explained how they were trying to enjoy a picnic with their dog by Oktibbeha County Lake when the former manager confronted them.

The couple reportedly received permission from the reception office to spend the day by the nearby lake without having a reservation to the campground, MSN reports.

However, soon after they started walking, Richardson and her husband were approached by an elderly white female, who pulled up next to them in her truck, got out her vehicle and brandished her firearm. After learning the couple did not have a reservation, she ordered them to leave the campsite.

In the video, Richardson can be heard saying: “This lady just pulled a gun because we [are] out here and don’t have reservations. The only thing you had to tell us was to leave, we would have left. You didn’t have to pull a gun.”

The woman responds, “Well I’m just telling you you need to leave because it’s under private ownership,” she said before putting the gun away. “You can’t be out here.”

Jessica’s husband, Franklin, a sergeant in the Army National Guard, had recently returned from a nine-month deployment in the Middle East, according to WCBI.

“It’s kind of crazy,” he told the station. “You go over there and don’t have a gun pointed at you, and you come back home and the first thing that happens is you have a gun pointed at you.”

Shortly after the video was posted on Facebook, Kampgrounds of America issued the following statement:

“Kampgrounds of America is currently looking into the matter and reaching out to all of the parties involved,” it said in a statement. “Kampgrounds of America prides itself on providing a welcoming, safe environment for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.”

Quanell X On Maleah Davis’ Mom: ‘She Knows What Happened’

Maleah Davis’ mom’s biggest supporter, activist Quanell X, is now telling authorities that he believes Brittany Bowens knows what happened to her missing daughter.

“I don’t think she knows where Maleah is, but I do believe she knows what happened,” he told KHOU 11.

Quanell X told the station that Brittany Bowens told him she communicated with Derion Vence, Maleah’s stepfather and suspect in her disappearance. She also reportedly shared details so sensitive, he shared them only with prosecutors.

“(She) said to me when we (were) riding in my car what she believed really happened to Maleah,” he said. “At that point, I knew what needed to be done. So I arranged to meet as quickly as I could with investigators at the highest level of this case and shared everything that we had learned and discovered.”

Quanell X told the Houston news station that after just two days on the job, he saw red flags. The activist claimed sources in Bowens’ family told him troubling details about Maleah’s care.

“Ain’t no way in hell a parent with common sense would have handled this entire situation the way Brittany handled this entire situation,” Quanell X said.

He claims that Bowens behaved differently in private than she did in front of the camera. To the public she was an emotional mother.

In private he says, “there was not a lot of tears,” he continued. “She was always calm, fluid, clear.  Now whenever there was a public thing, she would always break down.”

He claims he hung around in hopes to get information that the police could not.

KHOU 11 attempted to speak with Bowens but she did not respond.

Quanell X did tell prosecutors about Bowens’ words, behavior and shared his suspicions, law enforcement sources confirmed. However, authorities are still vetting the information.

The activist does not believe Bowens knows where to find Maleah. However, he is bothered by other details she shared with him.
