Judge Littlejohn fined, suspended
Chancery Court Judge Talmadge Littlejohn was suspended and fined by the Mississippi Supreme Court on Thursday afternoon.
The state’s highest court ordered the First Chancery District judge suspended without pay for 30 days, publicly reprimanded, fined $1,000 and ordered to pay $1,600 in court costs.
In March 2012, Littlejohn changed an 11-year-old custody agreement and ordered a non-custodial father to pay $15,000 within 90 days to purchase a car for his minor child. The man appealed. Despite the case being appealed, Littlejohn ordered the man jailed for not paying.
Last fall, the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance recommended that Littlejohn be fined $500, publicly reprimanded and ordered to pay court costs.
