City approves hire of firefighters in Nettleton
SUMMARY: Nettleton is finally moving towards having paid firefighters after a long discussion lasting several decades. The recent deadly fire off Highway 6 highlighted the challenges faced by volunteer fire departments. The dream of having paid firefighters began 40 years ago and is now becoming a reality with the recent approval to hire 10 part-time firefighters. While volunteer firefighters will still be needed, having paid staff will help ensure a quicker response time to emergencies. Chief Moody and Assistant Chief Bishop emphasize the importance of helping others and the rewards that come with it. The future looks promising for Nettleton with this development.
A decades long conversation about paid firefighters becomes a reality.
SUMMARY: In Mississippi, temperatures and humidity are on the rise, making outdoor activities almost unbearable with temperatures nearing 90° in early May. People are enjoying the warmer weather, with some looking forward to tanning and swimming. However, some acknowledge that they will miss the colder temperatures of winter. Despite the heat, outdoor activities like jogging and walking are still enjoyable, but it is important to stay hydrated to combat dehydration. Overall, the warm weather is being embraced, with people enjoying being outside and engaging in various activities.

Lawsuit alleges Laurel officers violated citizen’s rights in unlawful arrest
SUMMARY: A woman is suing police officers and the city for violating her constitutional rights during a traffic stop in February 2023. Jaquila Stevens was arrested for failure to comply with an officer and resisting arrest, but was later found not guilty. The federal lawsuit names four Laurel Police Department officers, the chief, and the city as defendants. Body camera footage is cited as evidence supporting Stevens' version of events. The lawsuit accuses officers of manufacturing justifications for the arrest, giving false testimony, and failing to intervene in an unlawful arrest. The police chief has not commented on the pending litigation. The complaint and videos can be viewed on the website.
