Troopers will be monitoring drivers to discourage speeding and distracted driving, and safety checkpoints will be set up to encourage seatbelt usage and remove impaired drivers.

SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves of Mississippi has requested Individual Assistance from FEMA for six counties impacted by severe storms in April 2024. The counties include Hancock, Hinds, Humphreys, Madison, Neshoba, and Scott. The request comes after the validation of the number of homes destroyed or severely damaged in each county. If approved, Individual Assistance can provide grants for housing and repairs, low-cost loans for property losses, and other programs for recovery. Mississippi must meet FEMA requirements for approval. The declaration is meant to help residents restore, rebuild, and recover from the effects of the disaster.

SUMMARY: Former West Point police officer Donovan Jeffers and his wife Quiyona Pederson have been charged with murder in connection to the death of their four-month-old child. The couple brought the infant to the hospital with head and neck injuries in November 2022, and the State Medical Examiner's Office determined the injuries were a result of abuse. Arrest warrants were issued, but the couple fled the state and were arrested in West Virginia in April 2024. They have since been booked into the Clay County Detention Center and each received a $300,000 bond.
