State, local leaders announce new public safety initiative for capital city
SUMMARY: Mississippi's Governor Tate Reeves has launched “Operation Unified,” a collaborative effort by local, state, and federal agencies to combat crime in the capital city of Jackson. Aimed at eradicating drug trafficking and violent crime, authorities are determined to reclaim the streets from criminals. The initiative, which began in mid-January, sees increased police patrols to enhance safety without over-policing. Recent violent crimes involved juveniles, prompting measures like a youth curfew and outreach programs. Leaders are committed to long-term solutions for reducing crime and improving safety in Jackson, engaging community and faith groups in their strategy.

SUMMARY: Henry Weaver, a 47-year-old man from Sledge, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for threatening a postal worker with a dangerous weapon. The incident occurred in Marks, Mississippi, on April 23, 2022. Weaver was convicted on February 13 and has been ordered to follow his prison term with three years of supervised release. U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner emphasized that threats against mail carriers are intolerable.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State University is launching the Dr. Elton Mac Huddleston Rural Veterinarians Scholarship to address a shortage of large animal veterinarians in rural Mississippi. Supported by House Bill 1210, the program will provide scholarships to veterinary students who commit to practicing in underserved rural areas, with a focus on food supply animals. The incentive includes loan repayment assistance for current veterinarians seeking further large animal training. The university has received $18 million to upgrade its veterinary facilities in support of the initiative starting this fall, with penalties for recipients who don't fulfill their practice obligations.
