What Crimes Have the Simon City Royals Committed?

In late 2017, two Simon City members in Southern Mississippi kidnapped two Navy sailors on leave and forced them to withdraw cash from ATMs at several locations. The sailors had been visiting Beau Rivage when they were forced into their rental car by two armed men and driven around. They were later left along a freeway where they flagged down passing cars. The gang members were sentenced to 40 years in prison.

Simon City Royal members claim that prison guards want to identify with gang members and therefore are easy to bribe for access to cell phones, drugs, and other contraband. One guard in Racine, Wisconsin, pleaded guilty to collaborating with incarcerated gang members to provide contraband and received only probation after turning state’s witness.

A Simon City member who was convicted of murder and sent to prison as a teen won a wrongful conviction lawsuit after spending more than a decade behind bars. When he was released and awarded $25 million, Thaddeus Jiminez spent much of the money on fancy cars, guns, and drug-fueled parties for his fellow gang members. A newspaper story says the Simon City gang was mostly defunct at that time, but Jiminez’s cash infusion reinvigorated it, financing $50,000 recruitment payments, paying members to get tattoos on their faces, bail for those awaiting trial, and respect from fellow members. But it all came crashing down when he shot a fellow Simon City member in both legs then raced away from police in his $90.000 Mercedes full of guns and ammunition. A friend in the passenger seat filmed much of the melee on an iPhone while Jiminez lost control of the car, crashed, and ran. He was caught and returned to prison. The man he shot won a $6 million lawsuit and was trying to determine if Jiminez had any assets he could recover in lieu of payment.
