A local bail bonds agent was arrested this week and charged with aiding and abetting a suspect hiding from the law.
Jessica Eldridge, 28, also faces felony embezzlement charges after the company she worked for, Hampton Gardner Bonding Company, claimed that she hasn’t turned in around $14,000 that is owed to the company.
Sheriff Thomas Vaughan said his officers were searching for Michael Stricklin, who was wanted for several outstanding misdemeanor warrants.

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.
