SUMMARY: An abandoned building in West Tupelo, located at the now-closed New P Paper site on Culla Boulevard, has become an eyesore and a potential public health hazard. The property has not been mowed or landscaped in months, with weeds reaching up to six feet high. The overgrowth is attracting rodents and snakes, posing safety risks. The City of Tupelo’s Code Enforcement Department has been contacted, and they will notify the property owner, giving them 14 days to clean it up. The situation is closely monitored by the city’s code compliance and enforcement division.

SUMMARY: Brillan Williams, a football player from Tupelo High School, has been ruled ineligible by the MHSAA for the 2024-2025 school year after transferring from Nettleton High School. The MHSAA determined that Williams’ move was not a bona fide transfer, stating it was purely for athletic reasons and occurred outside the transfer window.
