Applications for Mississippi’s wild hog control program open Thursday
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s Wild Hog Control Program (WHCP) will accept applications from August 1 to August 15. The program, led by Commissioner Andy Gipson, aims to help landowners manage invasive wild hog populations, which cause over $60 million in damages annually in the state. The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce provides “smart” traps and training for effective hog control on agricultural lands. Applications are required to be submitted online and will be assessed based on available acres, past losses from hogs, and current trapping efforts. Cooperative applications for small land parcels are encouraged. Traps are available for one-month intervals.

Bricen Rivers pleads not guilty to murder of ex-girlfriend Lauren Johansen
SUMMARY: Bricen Rivers has pleaded not guilty to capital murder, vehicle theft, and tampering with evidence related to the death of his ex-girlfriend, Lauren Johansen, whose body was found in a car trunk in Mississippi. Rivers fled the scene before his capture during a manhunt. The murder is believed to have occurred in Forrest County, and the case was transferred there. Rivers had previously been imprisoned for beating and kidnapping Johansen but was out on bond due to an administrative mistake. Johansen’s father, Lance, is advocating for “Lauren’s Law” to prevent bond eligibility for violent offenders. Rivers’ trial is set for June 25, 2025.
