VIDEO: Ole Miss provides Narcan kits on campus
SUMMARY: The opioid epidemic continues to affect people in Mississippi, including college campuses. Universities are taking action to address the issue by providing life-saving kits to students. These kits contain fentanyl test strips, doses of Narcan, educational materials, and a bag for disposal of substances. In just one month, over 150 kits have been distributed. The William McGee Center, which supports students with substance and alcohol abuse challenges, is grateful for the access to these resources. There are also programs available to help individuals and their loved ones struggling with addiction, such as the Craft program and Mississippi Horizons.
The opioid epidemic is still sweeping across the country. College students are just some of the Mississippians that are affected. Many universities, like Ole Miss, are working to help.
SUMMARY: The Covington County Sheriff's Department is investigating two separate drive-by shootings, one in February and the other on June 2. No one was injured in either incident, but some suspects were young teens. Sheriff Daryl Perkins is working with the DA's office to potentially charge these juveniles as adults. The June 2 incident involved four suspects firing into a home on Gray McGee Lane. Authorities also continue to search for 27-year-old Eric Barnes, a suspect in the February shooting on Joe Booth Road. Barnes, who is out on a $100,000 bond for a 2022 drive-by shooting, has not yet turned himself in.

SUMMARY: The Jones County Veterans Services Center is relocating from downtown Laurel to Ellisville, specifically to the former nursing home on County Home Road. The new site will house the Veterans Service office, coroner's office, and drill court, with enhanced space, better facilities, and improved handicap accessibility. Dedicated veterans' parking will also be available. Veteran Service Officer Jeff Barnett highlighted the need for the move due to space and parking limitations at the current location. Minor improvements like painting and cleaning are planned. The relocation is expected within a month, with a brief service interruption during the move.
