Uber driver speaks after being carjacked by suspect arrested in high speed chase
SUMMARY: An Uber driver, referred to as Rosalind, led police on a dangerous chase across South Mississippi after picking up a passenger named Regio Lavant in New Orleans. Rosalind sensed something was wrong from the start, and her ordeal escalated when she heard a gun being cocked in her backseat. Fearing for her life, Rosalind devised a plan to call 911 under the pretense of her car needing air. As the situation unfolded, Lavant fled in her car, driving on the wrong side of the interstate and nearly causing multiple accidents. Eventually, he crashed and tried to escape, but was apprehended with the help of a K9 unit. Rosalind, grateful to be alive, is reconsidering her part-time job as an Uber driver. Lavant, from Moss Point, is now detained at the Harrison County Detention Center on multiple felony charges, including carjacking and assault on a police officer, with a bond set at $250,000.
A nightmarish Uber ride unfolded in South Mississippi on Thursday morning when a passenger pulled out a handgun, stole the vehicle.

WLOX Digital Desk with Hugh Keeton (05/08/2024)
SUMMARY: This content discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Meditation can help regulate emotions, improve concentration, and enhance overall well-being. It activates the body's relaxation response, reducing the production of stress hormones and lowering blood pressure. Regular meditation practice can rewire the brain to be more resilient to stress and increase cognitive function. Mindfulness meditation, in particular, encourages staying present and focusing on the moment, which can prevent rumination and negative thought patterns. Overall, meditation is a powerful tool for promoting mental health and emotional balance.
