Richland police arrest 3 Texas teens for auto burglaries
SUMMARY: Three Texas teens were arrested by the Richland police for multiple auto burglaries and malicious mischief. The police officers were notified about the auto burglaries of commercial businesses, and more than 37 commercial motor vehicles were found to be burglarized. A vehicle of interest was identified, and the three occupants were detained for questioning by the Madison Police Department. The suspects had a hotel room in Clinton, and surveillance was conducted by Clinton police to prevent the stolen property from being moved. Search warrants executed on the suspect's vehicle and the hotel room in Clinton led to the discovery of over 60 stolen CPC modules, along with burglary tools. The three teens from Houston, Texas are being held in the Rankin County Jail with no bond pending court action.

SUMMARY: Firefighters at Fire Station 2 in Starkville, Mississippi, have created a DIY training room in an underused storage space to improve their search and rescue skills. The space is set up with realistic obstacles and scenarios to help them prepare for different situations. The goal is to eventually build a larger-scale facility for more comprehensive training. The firefighters believe that continuous training is essential to ensure citizen safety and respond effectively in emergencies. By practicing in a realistic environment, they can improve their response time and better serve the community.

SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers passed House Bill 1640, limiting the time people can be held in jail awaiting mental health care. The law states that individuals awaiting civil commitment can only be held for 48 hours unless facing criminal charges. The aim is to provide timely mental health treatment rather than keeping individuals in jail. The law will go into effect on July 1. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott believes these changes are needed to address mental health issues in county jails. While it's a step in the right direction, more treatment facilities are needed to expedite the process and prevent unnecessary stays in jail.
