After failing to hear from state Sen. Ophelai Ford by late Saturday afternoon, concerned family members were planning to head to Nashville to bring her home, said Shelby County Commissioner Joe Ford.
We know that she checked out of the Holiday Inn in Nashville but we don't know what other hotel she checked into," Ford said of his sister. "But we will be going to Nashville to get her."
Ophelia Ford has blamed a string of bizarre episodes in Nashville on 'chronic anemia." She has flatly denied any suggestion that she has a drug or alcohol problem.
Joe Ford Said he hopes to be in Nashville by today with a niece to bring his sister back to Memphis, but that depends on their ability to reach her by cell phone. She has repeatedly ignored his calls, Joe Ford said.
"We just hope she will answer her cell phone and tell us what hotel she is at," he said.
Did Ophelia actually win an election to sit in the state senate, or is she still serving because of the special election she stole (with dead votes) a few years ago?
She’s serving the term she was elected to last November, which is for 4 years. I predicted that even if Roland had been properly seated, which he should’ve been, it’s highly unlikely he would’ve won a regular general (he got only 28%, though that was the best a Republican had done there in many years).
