A pair of Vaughan men are charged with possession of crack cocaine after a routine traffic stop revealed the driver was wanted by police.
Sheriff Thomas Vaughan said deputy James Shiers stopped a vehicle driven by Cleotice “Baby” Barton, 32, of 11399 Vaughan Road, Thursday after noticing Barton wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.
“While the deputy was approaching the car, he saw the passenger reach under the seat,” Vaughan said.

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.
