Biloxi city councilman’s bond set after being charged with drug crimes
SUMMARY: Robert Deming, a city councilman in Biloxi, Mississippi, has been issued three felony charges related to drug possession and distribution. The charges stem from an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) which revealed illegal drugs at several Candy Shop & Kratom stores in Mississippi and North Carolina. Deming's assets, including $2 million believed to be involved in drug trafficking, were forfeited. He is facing charges for conspiring to possess and distribute controlled substances, as well as charges for the destruction of records in federal investigations. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of under $1 million. Deming's bond has been set at $25,000.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has enacted two bills supporting state downtown revitalization. Senate Bill 2696 establishes the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant (MMSRG), while Senate Bill 3056 appropriates $6.972 million across 19 projects and provides $500,000 for the Mississippi Main Street Association (MMSA). This initiative will fund improvements in communities like Amory, Biloxi, and Vicksburg. Funding up to $500,000 per community is competitive, with application and eligibility requirements varying by population size. The MMSA, appreciative of legislative trust, encourages future community participation in this ongoing program.

SUMMARY: A teen, Daveon Lindsey, was denied bond after killing Melvin McNair Jr. at a Jackson, Mississippi, tennis complex. Lindsey, 19, was apprehended following a police chase that ended with him crashing McNair's stolen vehicle. The incident unfolded when officers located the suspect at a Walgreens near the crime scene. Lindsey confessed to multiple shootings of McNair with a pink assault rifle, then dragged him out of his truck, stole his wallet, and fled. The murder weapon was recovered at the crash scene. Chief Joseph Wade addressed the disturbance caused in the community, but a motive has not been disclosed.

SUMMARY: In 2024, Mississippi casinos saw a revenue increase to $622.1 million, up from the previous quarter but down 2% year-over-year. The American Gaming Association reported a national record of $17.67 billion in gaming revenue. Slot machines and table games had modest growth, hindered by January weather. An all-time monthly revenue record was set in March. The report suggests that mobile sports betting could have boosted Mississippi's earnings, as it did nationally with a 22% annual increase to $3.33 billion. Mississippi had rejected mobile sports betting legislation, but lawmakers are considering revisiting the topic in 2025.
