West Point Police warns businesses about scam
SUMMARY: West Point Police have warned local businesses about an impersonation scam affecting a restaurant in the area. Scammers call businesses, claiming to be law enforcement investigating fake currency, and threaten employees with jail time if they don’t comply. They instruct victims to withdraw money and purchase gift cards, pressuring them to stay on the line. Police urge businesses to recognize these red flags, emphasizing that legitimate authorities do not call to request money transfers. Recent investigative efforts prevented further losses, and the restaurant’s funds were recovered. More information about scams is available on the police department’s website.

Lost Rabbit residents win battle
SUMMARY: Residents of Lost Rabbit, a picturesque subdivision, successfully opposed a developer’s plan to build four homes on essential green space in the community. The Pearl River Valley Water Supply District’s Shoreline Committee unanimously denied the proposal, with homeowners emphasizing the importance of preserving this area for children’s play and community enjoyment. Laura Goss highlighted that the neighborhood was originally marketed with this green space, which should remain unchanged. Although residents are pleased with the decision, they remain cautious, anticipating that the developer may pursue legal action due to perceived property value.

Outdoor Adventures with Chelsea: Watch out for snakes
SUMMARY: As spring arrives, warmer weather brings more snakes out. Mississippi has 44 species, six of which are venomous. While the diamond-shaped head is a common sign of venomous snakes like the cottonmouth and copperhead, it’s not always reliable. Snakes often flatten their heads when threatened. If you encounter one, keep your distance—snakes only bite if provoked. In case of a bite, seek medical help immediately; don’t use a tourniquet or try to suck out the venom. To reduce snakes in your yard, keep grass mowed and eliminate hiding spots. Chelsea Simmons shares these tips for outdoor safety.

Spring is officially here and warmer weather is on the way. Keep in mind that you might see a few more snakes outside.
