A Yazoo County man has been charged with aggravated assault after shooting another man with a shotgun Sunday.
Randell Wade Whitworth, 38, was arrested after an altercation allegedly led to him shooting another man.
“They got into an altercation at a residence, and the victim left,” said Sheriff Thomas Vaughan. “They met off of Highway 16 to settle the matter, and the suspect drew a shotgun and fired. Our investigators believe he was around 40-50 feet away from the victim when he fired.” -------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.
