Mother also arrested after 14-year-old boy charged with stealing cars
SUMMARY: A Memphis mother, Candice Fuqua, has been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor after her 14-year-old son was caught on video stealing a car. The incident occurred in September outside a local restaurant, and while police attempted to apprehend the suspects, they initially escaped. After Memphis Police shared a photo of one suspect online, Fuqua reportedly texted her son about the theft, showing a lack of parental guidance. An advocate expressed no sympathy for Fuqua, emphasizing the need for parents to discipline their children. Further details regarding additional offenses are expected to be revealed.

Mobile opioid addiction treatment in Tennessee requires workarounds, for now
SUMMARY: Belmont University is launching two mobile units funded by $6.4 million in opioid settlement money to provide harm reduction and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction, focusing on transient and unhoused populations. MAT, which uses drugs like buprenorphine (Suboxone), eases withdrawal symptoms and lowers overdose risk but can’t be dispensed outside clinics under Tennessee law. The mobile teams offer wound care, primary care, and mental health services, connecting patients to brick-and-mortar clinics for treatment and transportation. Security concerns also limit on-site dispensing. Similar mobile MAT efforts in Tennessee and Rhode Island highlight regulatory and community challenges.

Immigrant detainees begin arriving at former prison in rural Tennessee town
SUMMARY: Immigrant detainees have begun arriving at the West Tennessee Detention Facility in Mason, a former prison converted into an ICE detention center operated by CoreCivic. The facility reopened after Mason officials approved agreements with ICE and CoreCivic despite public opposition. The prison, closed in 2021 under a Biden administration order, was reopened following Trump’s reversal to support mass deportations. CoreCivic claims the center will create nearly 240 jobs and generate significant tax revenue for Mason, a financially struggling majority-Black town. However, concerns persist over detainee mistreatment, with CoreCivic facing fines and lawsuits related to abuse and understaffing at Tennessee prisons.
