Three Yazoo County men are accused of forcing their way into a man’s home while he was asleep on the couch, dragging him outside and assaulting him.
Vernon Hearst, 52, of 1607 Bell Road, Leonard Hearst Sr., 55, of 1601 Bell Road, and Leonard Hearst Jr., 32, of 1609 Bell Road, are each facing felony charges of kidnapping and breaking and entering.
“They allegedly kicked in the door, dragged him out of the house and beat him,” said Deputy Jack Willingham. “The whole thing was supposedly about some kind of civil dispute.”

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.
