SUMMARY: A First Alert Weather Day has been declared in the Pine Belt for Friday, with construction set to begin on a softball complex destroyed by a tornado seven years ago. Two men have been arrested for separate animal cruelty incidents in Hattiesburg. The city council awarded a contract to rebuild the Timberton softball complex this summer after it was destroyed in an EF-3 tornado in 2017. FEMA has agreed to pay more than half of the total amount for the project. The storms expected in the Pine Belt tomorrow could be severe, with showers and thunderstorms lasting into the late evening hours.

SUMMARY: Cyberstalking is a serious crime that involves using technology to harass, threaten, and intimidate someone, causing fear and emotional stress. In Mississippi, it is a felony, and police actively pursue offenders, like Teresa Woods, recently arrested for using fake social media accounts to harass victims. Blocking numbers and profiles, reporting to police, and obtaining no-contact orders are vital steps to stop cyberstalking. Victim services provide emergency safety plans and support, especially if harassment escalates. Young adults, particularly women aged 18-29, are most at risk, but anyone can be targeted. Documenting harassment is crucial for protection and legal action.

Cyberstalking is a form of stalking that involves the use of technology, like messaging apps, social media and email.
