Jamal Paris, one of the 4 men who recently settled a sexual misconduct lawsuit against Bishop Eddie Long, posed for the above mugshot after being arrested a few days ago in his new home of Miami Beach, Florida.
Jamal, the oldest of the accusers was the only one to publicly provide lengthy, in-depth details about the allegations. First in a startling open letter to Long, then in an emotional video after being ambushed by Fox I-Team reporters.

Parris is now back in the news after facing a bit of legal problems stemming from drugs and weapons. *sigh*
Details below:
According to the arrest report, around 6:28 p.m. on Tuesday (June 28, 2011), Parris was driving his brand new 2011 BMW 328i when a trooper pulled him over after noticing “a weathered temporary tag”.
The trooper noted he “smelled a strong and distinct odor of marijuana.” During the stop, Parris told the trooper he had a “firearm in a bag” in the back seat.
The officer wrote that he found the gun and “50 small clear zip lock bags” consistent with selling pot.
The report says that Parris had “$1,251″ in cash in his pocket and in the trunk, officers found “181 grams” “of “suspected marijuana.”
The trooper felt all the evidence was “indicative of a drug dealer” and Parris was arrested. He was charged with felony count of marijuana distribution and use of firearm during commission of a felony and bonded out later that night.

Parris had apparently been living in Miami only 3 short weeks prior to the incident. Sources close to the case revealed to Fox5 I-Team:
“Parris moved to Miami to “attend Miami Dade College” and had already registered for school. He “bought a handgun in Atlanta for protection.”
The BMW was paid for with “money from the Long settlement.” Parris has told friends he just wanted to finish college in Miami.
I told y’all a while ago this case may be settled but it’s far from over. Now these traumatized young men have a pocket full of dough (settlement info) but many apparently still haven’t faced their demons.
Just FYI… another accuser, Anthony Boyd, one of the men accused of breaking into Bishop Eddie Long’s church, faced a judge on those charges last week and is said to have showed up to court with a limo driver.
Again… a POCKET FULLA DOUGH and still fighting.
These young men will forever be haunted by Long and what he “allegedly” did to them behind closed doors and I’m praying that they each one day find peace.
What are your thoughts on Jamal Parris’ Miami arrest? Was he “dealing drugs” or numbing his pain?

[…] Bishop Eddie Long accuser arrested in Miami – Straight from the A […]
I think he will forever be numbing his pain with whatever substances he now has money to buy.Whether he’ll ever turn to God to free him from that demon’s memory is soley for him to decide,but evidence seems to point to a slow spiral.If I had his money,I would’ve changed my location too,too bad he can’t change his name.
I have absolutely no sympathy for Jamal Parris, because he was never a victim of Eddie Long’s from the beginning, and as far as i’m concerned he should be tried in open court like the rest of us would be.
Jamal Parris knew exactly what he was doing, and his actions have nothing to do with Eddie Long. Jamal has his money he nor anyone else can’t blame Eddie Long anymore for the decisions he makes at this point.
Money itself, is not the root of all evil, it is the people who’s hands are holding it.
Jamal Parris is now getting what he deserves, and if he continues down this path of drugs, and no tags he’s going to continue getting pulled over in Miami.
CORRECTION TO MY FIRST POST HERE THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SAY IN SECOND PARAGRAPH:
Jamal Parris knew exactly what he was doing, and his actions have nothing to do with Eddie Long. Jamal has his money now, and he nor anyone else can blame Eddie Long anymore for the decisions he makes at this point.
God knows all and sees all!
I dont feel sorry for this guy, he was hurting last week now he is selling drugs. This is his own self to blame. Eddie long said he was helping them go down the right path and that looks about right now.
I hate that this has happened, but he has the money, the car, the house why must he sell drugs??? This was what he wanted all alone he is a fake
Well lets see how many people you can fool with lies? A lot really cause a lot of people believe the wolf story this young man has cried…How many can fool God and get away with such mess? Ans: none at all because God will repay when we surrender to His will. Bishop long Surrendered and this is just a first of many revelations about to hit the fan on this young men. I guess you wouldn’t believe it but this is the main REASON that Jamal’s Lawyers
did not want to go to trial!
I will say this. If I were molested, sexually abused and mislead by a pastor – I wouldn’t want his money. I would want to see that person locked away so they couldn’t hurt anyone else and if in the process of him being locked away I gain money for damages fine but I wouldn’t settle out of court.
These guys were all about the money. If they really wanted him to pay they would have stuck it out. And I’m sorry they cannot say Bishop Long could have bought his way out because that’s not true. In this church hostile environment – any court is looking for a pastor especially a mega church pastor to crucify. And who better to crucify than a man of GOD who has made numerous stands against homosexuality.
You reap what you sow and when you’re dishonest it will catch up with you. You cannot just wrongly accuse God’s people.. And that’s truth whether you want to accept that or not..
Well, Well, Well. 1 rock down and 4 more to go. When you hold your peace, and let the Lord fight your battle, your accusers will fall everytime.
Where, where, WHERE are the boy’s parents?!? Someone should’ve set up an account for this boy and paid for some therapy, for real!!!
Aaaaw – sad.
He and the others just need prayer…they have been TRAUMATIZED!!
so in reality he wanted this money to be a drug dealer?
Hahaha !!! just sayin’..
None of us knows what happened with those young men. We were not there! However, no matter who you are whatever you do (Long included), you will pay for it.
2011 BMW,$1,251 cash, gun and ”50 bags of pot”!!=drug dealer..
^^^ I disagree Jackie Jackson – Why is it that every Black man in a FANCY car with cash in his pocket has to immediately be labeled a “drug dealer” – maybe $1,251 is alot to the “average joe” but this dude has over a milli in the bank. 1200+ is just pocket change to him IMO. And 50 bags of weed to a smoker during a holiday weekend (in MIAMI) can be viewed as recreational.
i don’t think so,its the 50 bags, not so much the car and the money,+A gun… ya right, a hoilday week-end in MIAMI
CALL THE ”BISHOP”!! LOL.
OK MICHELLE- a milli in the bank? tell the judge! lol
who buys 50 bags of weed to smoke? on the news it said that he had empty bags and a pound of weed… wanna be a drug dealer!!!!!
Think They Need More Then Just Prayer”’ smh’ The Need Some Psychologial Treatment As Well To Deal With These Issue’s
181 grams of weed+ the 50 small clear zip lock bag!!how much weed is that?!?lol
blame that on the ”bishop”!
Truthfully the whole NBC franchise is suspect. However, that’s why it’s so important to know God for yourself. I wouldn’t leave if I were a member in lithonia I would stay. there always needs to be a witness for the Lord and witness dies not mean be a fool either
Excuse me that’s does. And I’m praying for everyone
Yes, the Bishop is to blame. That boy told the truth. I don’t care who thinks otherwise. The man has tainted these young men and they will need lots of prayer and support for many years to come.
The Bible says that Christians are not to sue one another but they have to resolve their matters within the Church. This money is going to bring more harm than good because they sued God’s Church. They took money from God, and that is greed and this is a prime example of that…
Ask me how I figured it was him. Money is the root of all evil. Hope he stays out of trouble is all I gotta say.
It’s truly unbelievable how all you posters are now defending that "BASTARD" who is in NO WAY a "BISHOP" for God.Yes,dude is wrong for having weed and a gun in his car.But in reality,who on this site (other than ME) doesn’t have weed in their house RIGHT NOW? You were ridin’ around in a car smokin’ it last night.You just didn’t have as much as Jamal! Are you condemning Jamal for the very weed YOU’RE SMOKING?He NEEDS weed! He also needed that GUN to protect his weed from HATERS like you! Puff Puff and don’t pass s**t to these mofo’s Jamal!!
181 grams of weed is abt 3 to 4 lbs!! Who smoke that in a weekend?!?! come on now! not even sir smoke a lot (half baked) can smoke that much happiness in a weekend!
carrying an unlicensed gun in Florida is just not even worth the hassle.
not having legit plates is just stupid itself! (obviously he bought the car in GA – temporary plates is ok in GA but not in Florida! They will stop your ass!)
This dude is just arrogant and have that false sense of entitlement.
As a wise woman once told me "whatever you do in the dark, it will always come to the light" "and them jackasses will be broke in a year!" #WatchThis #dropthemic and exit stage left…
#pickthemicbackup
aww damn i messed up – it wasnt 3 to 4 lbs of weeds… lol i was tipsy off that tequila avion… 181 grams of weed is barely a half a pound of happiness (math wasnt exactly my strong subject)
That a mismeandor – but the gun/baggies bump that shyt to a felony….
why is yall blaming the Bishop Long and the NBMBC family? They wasnt in the car with him!
Dont throw stones at anyone but this fool Jamal Parris. He is a fool because he was riding Dirty! wheredotheydothatat? Should have took a cab!
#dropthemicforealthistime and does the #GeorgeJeffersonwalk
181 grams of that happiness is barely a half pound …. boy’s parent? what this ninja is a grown man in the eye of the law! what does the entire NBMBC and Bishop Long had to do with this dumb arrogant Nergo’s arrest – they wasnt in the car with him!
Because he got caught with a handgun and weed does not mean he was lying about what happened to him. I have become rather annoyed with the comments that reflect this ignorant idea.
When a young girl finally tells the truth about her uncle or her step father or father raping her and no one believes her and she later falls victim to drugs, prostitution, or an abusive relationship; Is that the Lord working because she never should have told from the beginning. I knew two girls personally who’s mother was arrested for prostituting them out for her drug habit. I remember the one who went to school with me TELLING people this but no adults took further action. She later became a prostitute and was killed. Is that the Lords work as well? Because she became a prostitute, did that discredit her story that her mother was selling her to grown men. What if the mother would have never got caught? I don’t care if you feed 100,000 people or just look out for yourself. You will always go through trials and tribulations. How piss poor are you guys judgment and I feel sorry for your children due to you guys STILL trying to defend this man. I don’t give a damn if the next accuser is caught with 50 kilos next month. It does not change the fact the Eddie abused his position of power.
childboo…and what has Jamal Parris done for you lately?
2 wrongs doesnt make a right. Was Bishop Long in the car with him? Nope!
Jamal is so full of himself that he thinks he is above the law!
Go sitcha double standard behind down.
Because ANY wrong is wrong (drug dealing or trickin or whatever u want to compare)
Some of yall are some lost ones (put on "Lost Ones" by Jay-Z)
He’s already a person that can be influenced easily, he’s obviously listening to the wrong person now. WITH THE MONEY HE’S MADE HE SHOULD REALIZE YOU DON ‘T HAVE TO BAG UP YOUR OWN DOPE! DOPE.
furthermore it’s going to be real hard for him to trust another pastor and a loving church that can help him cope. Poor child.
@ james who are you to rewrite the bible. Just goes to show what type of person you are and as far as the comment on him and eddie long he has a whole lot of 0’s to prove otherwise.
Even if the man was caught with ten pounds of cocaine or heroin, does not excuse the fact that the nasty wig wearing nearly 60 year old boarder line pedophile is guilty. The man needs to have a gun because of psychotic idol worshipers such as your selves.
@jmc I not once stated he was above the law. I not once stated what he did was right. I am a firm believer of if you did the crime man up and face the consequences. He deserves the punishment for the crime at hand. BUT it still does not “erase” what Eddie did just because Jamal is having legal problems himself. That was my point along with the ecamples I provided. Please reread with comprehension.
Typing on the iPhone *examples
This not Jamaal and this is not Eddie Long. This is black culture today. Our religion is money. Our church is money. And our God is money.
There is nothing too sacred that cannot buy the black soul today. I haven’t seen it yet.
So sad.
I still believe those guys were molested, but he is a grown man and should know how to obey the law and not turn into another statistic. That money is cursed because of the way he recieved it. Yes, I pray he turns his life around, before he gets into more serious trouble- like pulling out that gun and shooting someone in the streets with it.Go and find some help, if you can,Jamal.
Jamal Parris has made some poor choices here, without a doubt. But everything this 24 year-old young man does is going to be scrutinized. I’m so sick of callous people showing no compassion to Jamal and the other victims. I’m convinced that this young man was/is deeply wounded and is crying out for help. Pain, hurt and anger doesn’t go away just because you win a settlement and get paid. Those negative emotions left unresolved will lead to a downward spiral. Don’t make light of someone else’s misery and pain lest you find yourself in that same situation. I sincerely pray that he gets counselling and finds himself in a "real" church with a "real/true" pastor who can mentor him. Instead of attacking Jamal, let’s lift him up.
Victims/survivors of sexual abuse usually go on a self destructive path without counseling. He should take that money and get help until he is emotionally healed. Becoming a criminal and drug addict is not the answer to personal pain. If he ruins the rest of his life he negates the victory he and his attorney fought so hard to win. Long is the one who should be in jail. These rumors have been circling around him for years in Georgia. The money from the settlement came from hardworking Christians. Long isn’t
suffering as he deserves.
it is sad that black people get on here and put another person down. I as a black individual will stand strong for this young man he was sexual abused. he drugs I do not agree with but how many black get psychological assistance. not many and for some of you dumb black face to make such negative remark. In white American they support each other even when they know someone is guilty. But, leave it to us. When will we ever learn. oh that right I drive an Mercedes and i live in a nice house and I am better than them. He has problem and they should be address, there is a break down somewhere in his immediate family all the signs are there.How do I know because I had parents that were present until I left the nest and it is apparent he didn’t so back off.He paid these young men off to much much and not enough guidance.
2011 BMW + BAD TEMP TAG + BLACK MAN = stop him cause something doesnt look right lol
Well I have no sympathy for him only because after he got that money, he had no reason to acquire money illegally. In other words, dude was set so why deal drugs?
However, Miami-Dade is a known weed and meth area and maybe he wanted to fit in with the "crew". It’s hard to say. I’ve know molestation victims and they are never right in the head. They always seem to be getting into some kind of trouble. It’s as if their souls are broken and they feel they aren’t worthy anything so they make dumb mistake after dumb mistake.
He should have gotten counseling along with the paycheck. THIS IS STILL EDDIE LONG’S FAULT AND F*CK HIM IN HIS OLD FARTY ASS – MAY HE BURN IN ETERNAL HELLFIRE FOR WHAT HE DID AND WHAT HE IS STILL DOING!
I mean how dumb are you? you got it all, that’s not enough? dam. Your greed will lead you to nowhere but death. People will use you, lie to you, set you up. Why not go legit and invest in business, real estate, some folks could use your help. Do something for others, get high on that. Don’t be no fool, you have no one to blame. Go to one of them fancy rehabs (Palisades) and get straight and smart, make that money grow. I guess I’ll see you next Lifetime. maybe
lmao! he got rid of that Mirage now he got a BMW smh & with the church money at that. Boy oh boy this is crazy.
