A suspect who resisted arrest after he locked himself in his home with a gun remains behind bars.
Imario Wright, who was wanted on another misdemeanor warrant, was charged with failure to comply.
Rumors began circulating that Wright and authorities were involved in a stand off at a local apartment complex Tuesday night. But Chief Eric Snow said there were no shots fired nor any hostage situation.
Snow said dispatchers received a call concerning a fight at Genesis Court Apartments. Once officers arrived at the scene, a few witnesses came forward with information about Wright, who was allegedly involved in the altercation.
“Witnesses stated that Wright ran into his apartment, displaying a gun and then closing the door,” Snow said. “We were also told there were small kids and his girlfriend in the apartment with him.”

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.
