When he realized he was going back to jail, one suspect took out his anger on the seat of his friend’s car.
A routine traffic stop in Little Yazoo resulted in felony DUI charges for the driver and bribery charges for the passenger.
Kevin Freels, 36, of Hazlehurst was stopped for speeding and careless driving Friday. He was then charged with third offense DUI, which is a felony. He was also charged with possession of marijuana, driving with a suspended license, speeding and careless driving. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
