SUMMARY: A man in Carroll County, Mississippi, has been declared incompetent to stand trial for the murder of his six-year-old brother. Thomas Perry III has been charged with homicide, arson, and cruelty to animals since the death of his brother in July 2022. Perry was arrested after being seen walking away from the fire that had been intentionally set in their apartment. His brother's body was discovered with multiple stab wounds, indicating homicide. The judge declared Perry incompetent based on a 50-page mental competency evaluation and ordered him to be committed to a mental institution until his sanity is restored.

SUMMARY: Lowndes County Road Department workers teamed up with Columbus Public Works crews to clean up debris after a wind event. 28 county workers used 11 dump trucks to remove more than 100 loads of debris in two days. They cleared areas for utility crews to restore services and facilitated the replacement of streetlights and other repairs. Despite political boundaries, everyone worked together to get the job done efficiently. The county saw some damage near the new Sportsplex, but the city experienced the hardest hit areas. Collaboration between different departments expedited the clean-up process and aided in overall recovery efforts.
