James 'Jimmy' Belmont is a murderer featured in Season 5.

Biography[]

He is a marijuana farmer operating in Rural Northern California who is having a dispute with Harvey Disher who is threatening to go to Sheriff Margie Butterfield about the crops he's growing. Belmont attempted to bribe him but Harvey wouldn't bite, so Jimmy killed him, and set it up to look like Jimmy accidentally ran over his prized pig, Nadine, and shoot himself out of grief. Adrian Monk then visited the Rural county and went undercover in Belmont's farm, only issue was Belmont recognized Adrian from the newspapers. Adrian stated he knew about the marijuana plants, so later that night, Belmont burned his secret marijuana field. During that time, Adrian discovered how Belmont pulled off the murder and whispered it into Randy's ear while he was sleeping. Belmont was then arrested for murder. Randy revealed how Belmont did it and he was arrested, but not before Belmont realized Monk really solved the case (Belmont glared at Monk after Randy used the obsolete slang term for marijuana: "reefer").

He later appeared as a guest alongside Hal Tucker and Joey Krenshaw on "In Focus" discussing their flawed murder plots. In this episode, Belmont proved that he knew Monk caught him, not Randy.
