Tupelo man won’t get a third chance – Home – WCBI TV
SUMMARY: A man from Tupelo, Mississippi, who was already out on bond for assaulting a police officer, has been arrested again for the same offense. William Earnest Westmoreland was pulled over for a traffic violation when he refused to exit his vehicle. When police tried to remove him, Westmoreland physically confronted them and attempted to grab an officer’s sidearm. Despite being tased, he was eventually handcuffed with the help of bystanders. A search of his vehicle revealed suspected marijuana and THC edibles. Westmoreland was booked into jail without bond due to his prior charge.

New tropical disturbance pops up in the Atlantic: National Hurricane Center
SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking a disturbance developing in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, with a 30% chance of further development as it moves westward or southwestward. Currently located a few hundred miles from the Cabo Verde Islands, the system may encounter conditions more favorable for growth by mid-week, despite initially moving into less conducive environments. Over the next ten days, the NHC will continue monitoring the situation, especially as potential impacts on Florida remain uncertain after recent hurricane events, including Helene and Milton.

Daylight saving time ends soon: What if we didn't 'fall back' this year?
SUMMARY: Daylight saving time will end on November 3, allowing Americans to gain an extra hour of sleep, but it will also mean earlier sunsets. While states have shown interest in adopting permanent daylight saving time, efforts have stalled. If clocks were not changed, morning commutes would be darker, as sunrise in Chicago, for example, would shift to 8:18 a.m. Proponents argue that permanent daylight saving time could reduce crime and traffic accidents, but a past attempt in the 1970s faced backlash, leading to a return to biannual clock changes. Most Americans will reset their clocks unless Congress intervenes.
