Break down of how the Meridian City Council vote looked like
SUMMARY: February arrives tomorrow with nice weather, but showers are expected soon. The fallout surrounding Meridian's city council's decision not to fund organizations like the Jimmie Rodgers Foundation is generating controversy. Documents showing which organizations applied for city grant dollars and how the money would be used have surfaced and reflect poor communication among council members and the council president. News 11 is trying to get verification of these documents from City Hall. Ty Bell Lindsey, a council member, told News 11 how she voted and said the document does not reflect that.

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.
