SUMMARY: Melissa Upchurch, a former employee of Holmes County, has pleaded guilty to embezzling public funds while working as the county's secretary for the water and soil conservation district. Between June 2020 and September 2022, Upchurch issued checks to herself and deposited them into her own bank account. Arrested in June 2023, she now faces consequences for her actions: five years of house arrest, followed by five years of supervised probation and another five years of unsupervised probation, and must pay restitution and fines. State Auditor Shad White commended the investigators and highlighted the recovery of significant taxpayer money.

SUMMARY: Denise Frazier of Laurel, arrested for engaging in sexual acts with dogs, is back in custody after a grand jury indictment in Jones County. Prevailing in headlines since her April 2023 arrest, Frazier was charged with unnatural intercourse and aggravated animal cruelty, stemming from multiple videos including one in a church parking lot. A subsequent arrest occurred in February following new footage during her pregnancy. The Forrest County grand jury delivered indictments for both attempted and actual unnatural intercourse. Her bond was revoked after she violated release conditions. Despite initially claiming coercion, Frazier later boasted about her actions online. She could face 10 years in prison.

SUMMARY: Lawrence Blair Corley IV, a 17-year-old from Mississippi's Gulf Coast, has been arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder after a fatal shootout during an attempted robbery.

The homeowner shot Lawal and Stennis, leading to their deaths; Lawal died on the scene, and Corley drove Stennis to a hospital where he later died.
