SUMMARY: Bricen Rivers, charged with the murder of 22-year-old nursing student Lauren Johansen, appeared in court after being relocated from Harrison County. Judges denied him bond for the first-degree murder charge, while granting $20,000 for grand larceny and tampering with evidence. The latter charge arose from allegations that Rivers stole Johansen’s vehicle and attempted to clean it after her murder. His previous bonds for drug trafficking, kidnapping, and stalking were revoked. Rivers, who is being held in the Forrest County Jail, awaits a preliminary hearing as the investigation continues. Johansen’s body was found in a car in Harrison County.

SUMMARY: The Pearl Board of Aldermen voted 5-2 to reject a citizen-approved ordinance allowing liquor stores within city limits, despite nearly 60% of voters supporting it in a June referendum. Pearl, a Rankin County suburb, remains in a dry county where liquor sales require special approval. Although Pearl has resort status permitting wine and liquor by the glass in restaurants and beer sales in stores, residents must still travel elsewhere for liquor purchases. Mayor Jake Windham, who opposed liquor stores but supported honoring the vote, expressed disappointment, emphasizing the importance of respecting citizens’ voices and preventing retail leakage.
