A Yazoo City man has been charged with gratification of lust in a case involving a 12-year-old girl.
Robert A. Edmonds, 18, of 156 Rogers Road, was arrested Monday by the Yazoo County Sheriff’s Department.
Sheriff Thomas Vaughan said the investigation into this case included the child being interviewed at the Children’s Advocacy Center in Jackson.
“These people are experts at interviewing children in these cases and helping determine what really happened,” Vaughan said. “They informed us that they consider this a legitimate case.” -------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.
