William Browning – Greenwood Commonwealth
Two unnamed guards man the entrance Tuesday to the Holcomb home of P.L. Blake’s son, Mark. Onetime Greenwood resident P.L. Blake has been named in federal court documents as an alleged participant in a judicial bribery scandal. No charges have been filed against Blake.
This photo adorns the fresh Greenwood Commonwealth article that Bob just sent in. It’s a long telling of what Leflore County knows of P.L. Blake and his family (not quite the version we’ve collected). One of the things you’ll learn is that this house in the photo was listed in P.L.’s name until March 2008.
Thanks much, Bob.
An Alabama license tag on that security vehicle, huh? Would that be Daddy sending his goons in from B’ham to protect his son?
GG, Mark’s a big enough boy to take care of himself. Growing up around the corner from the Blake’s house in Greenwood, I don’t remember P.L. that well, but Miss Shirley was a really nice lady. Mark and his sister were good kids from what I remember, they were a little bit younger than me.
