Mamie White of “Wild & Wonderful Whites” Arrested Again
Mamie White, sister of the “Dancing Outlaw” Jesco White, and one of the stars of the controversial documentary The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, has been arrested once again.
According to the Boone County Sheriff’s Office, Mamie Savannah Warner recently was caught trying to sell drugs at a Tudors Biscuit World in Boone County while two police officers were having lunch at the location. This resulted in Mamie being found guilty for felony delivery of a controlled substance, and she was placed on 90 days of home confinement. When she violated the home confinement order on Thursday, July, 3rd, police arrested her and booked her into South Western Regional Jail in Holden, West Virginia.
White was also arrested on November 9th of 2013 for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI), possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and assault and battery of a police officer with a weapon.
Mamie had a very small appearance in the original The Dancing Outlaw movie that was released through PBS in 1991 that began the cultural fascination with the White family of West Virginia, and eventually landed her brother Jesco appearances on the TV show Rosanne and other high profile roles. In 2009”²s The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, Mamie was arguably the focal point of the film as the family’s matriarch after the passing of her mother, Bertie Mae White. Mamie used to act as de facto manager and liason for her brother Jesco.
The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia explicitly depicts Mamie White, and other members of the White family abusing and selling prescription drugs and other illegal substances. Since the release of the film, Mamie and other White Family members have distanced from the depictions, and claimed they were taken advantage of by the film. Mamie told the Coal Valley News, “I’m not happy with the scenes of drug use and neither is Jesco”¦We haven’t gotten enough from Johnny Knoxville to amount to anything.”
The Whites have appeared in songs by numerous country music artists, including Big & Rich, and Hank Williams III who also appeared in the Wild & Wonderful Whites film, but later distanced from the film as well.
Jesco White was also arrested near the release of Wild & Wonderful Whites in 2009, but all the charges were later dropped.

Do you know them?!?! If not shut your ignorant mouth little boy sam

These people live in despair and hopelessness. I don’t condone the drug use or their lifestyle but I can’t help but feel sorry for them to a degree either. They tend to harm themselves other than innocent people. I just wonder if they would draw the same criticism they do, if they were Black?

Am I the only one who doesn’t give a shit what this trashy family does?

You must care–you didn’t just end up on this page by accident.

I care about the music and these people have nothing to do with country music except for that “Legend of D Ray White” song Hank III wrote.
Posting this kind of crap just gives them more attention which is what they crave. It’s no better than some dumb reality show.

I wouldn’t call them trashy, only because it is not nice to say that. But, yeah, am about sick and tired of hearing about this family. What have they every done?
July 5, 2014 @ 7:32 pm
You find these types of families in any rural community. There’s always at least one and they are almost always a pain in everyone’s hind end.

“We haven’t gotten enough from Johnny Knoxville to amount to anything.” Wtf??? I’m wondering what was expected.
July 7, 2014 @ 10:42 am
I’ll admit I hadn’t really heard of this documentary before reading this post.
Is there really anything about these people that separates them from just any trailer trash found in any rural community? I mean, I’ve got druggies and redneck morons just down the street from my house. I don’t have to actively search for this kind of “entertainment”. It comes to my house once or twice a month begging for cigarette money.

Glad this piece of garbage is in jail. If my taxes are going to be paying her way, I would rather it be for her real prison stay than for her fake disability.

Her dad put her and her siblings on ssi. I don’t care for some members of this family, but please put blame on the correct person.

You’re not that much smarter, judging by the way you write and the nonsense you say.

I love the Whites. Just great people. Anna Mae is hot as hell!
July 25, 2022 @ 10:24 pm
Anna Mae IS hot as Hell! That said, it annoys that Mamie is constantly badmouthing the producers. First off, you’re not a movie star. Movie stars actually have a talent and a job. That requires discipline. Mamie was in a documentary, and she wasn’t even the subject. She just “showed her ass” and made an utter, contemptuous fool of herself. These people aren’t rebels, they are fucking parasites. Mamie is a criminal and a recidivist and living off of the government doesn’t make you a rebel or an outlaw. It makes you a cockroach.

I think this family is alright and thrones cutting them down should mind there own

I watched the documentary with no knowledge of the family. I found Jesco to be very entertaining and what, in the South, we would call a “character”. But the majority of the family were, other than Poney, pretty disgusting. I don’t find their obnoxious behavior, nor addictions, nor entitlement fraud to be entertaining. And after reading about their following behavior, including arrests, begging for money, and greed-related infighting, it just proves the fact that folks like this are burden to their neighbors and the population at large. They feel they shouldn’t have to work and deserve to live off of the labor of good people and steal stay strung out. They’re not”outlaws”, they’re parasites. And they are far from free. They’re slaves to drugs and alcohol.Salt of the Earth? BS

Who’s gonna pack Mamie home
May 21, 2023 @ 3:05 pm
Yeah , your just an indoctrinated slave to the military industrial complex . Welfare and those disability checks are a drop in the bucket compared to the money spent on the global evil and terror inflicted on the rest of the world, thats what people like you call the “American way” . Not everyone wants to be or have the things you do , None of it matters in the end sir. What matters is how you make ppl feel , if you believe in heaven . Wld u voice that type of opinion to them in person , sir ? I know your type lol .What are you gonna leave behind besides shitty online comments ? I found the documentary entertaining , just as it was intended to be .
