Nashville clerk’s office admits botched process of accused Mississippi killer’s release
SUMMARY: The Davidson County Clerk’s Office admitted a mistake in releasing Bricen Rivers without proper monitoring, which may have led to the death of Lauren Johansen, a nursing student. Rivers, who had been jailed for beating and kidnapping Johansen, posted bond and fled to Mississippi to kill her. Chief Deputy Clerk Julius Sloss confessed that an employee failed to ensure Rivers had an ankle monitor and abided by release conditions. Johansen’s father criticized the flawed judicial process, asserting that her death was preventable had proper procedures been followed. The error enabled Rivers to leave jail unsupervised and commit the crime.

SUMMARY: Mississippi College in Clinton fosters musical talent through its Department of Music and beyond. Students like Nate Brock, who formed the band Broken Halos during the COVID-19 pandemic, combine indie rock with Southern influences. The Institute for Southern Storytelling, originally focused on literature, now supports student musicians by offering unique opportunities like live recordings. Students like Gabe Williams, a Christian solo artist, use the institute’s resources to create music with spiritual themes. These “dorm-room producers” are proving that creativity and community are key to launching successful musical careers, even without formal training or access to professional studios.

SUMMARY: The Atlanta Falcons were fined $250,000 and Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 after Ulbrich’s son, Jax, participated in a prank call to Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft. Jax accidentally found Sanders’ draft contact number on an open iPad at home and handed it to a friend who made the prank call. The Falcons accepted the NFL’s discipline, apologized to Sanders and his family, and emphasized continued adherence to security policies. Jax and the Ulbrich family are working on community service related to the incident. The NFL is still investigating other prank calls made during the draft, unrelated to the Falcons case.

SUMMARY: Natchez has elected its first pet mayor, a black lab named Mary Frances, following a spirited campaign. Mary Frances, known for her greeter role at Darby’s downtown shop, defeated fellow candidate Roni by 321 votes. The election also raised funds for local animal organizations. Though this was her first official campaign, Mary Frances had been the “unofficial Pet Mayor” for over a decade. The election also led to the appointment of other pet officials, including Roni as Chief of PAWlice and Dart as FUR Chief. The new officials will be sworn in during a public collaring ceremony on May 10.
