Hinds County supervisor speaks out after being expelled from meeting
SUMMARY: Hinds County District 2 Supervisor Tony Smith was expelled from a board meeting for bringing a gun, which he claimed was empty, inside the building. Smith stated he was asked by Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones to place the gun in his vehicle during a recess. However, before Smith could return to the meeting, he was barred from re-entering. He explained he had the gun on him because he had been checking his rental properties earlier and forgot to remove it. Smith believes the incident is being used by other supervisors to discredit him, emphasizing there was no hostile intent.
