SUMMARY: The Bartahatchie Bridge in Monroe County, Mississippi, is currently closed and undergoing replacement due to a drop in its safety rating, which couldn’t support the heavy traffic from loggers and school buses. Built in 1965, it has deteriorated over time, causing inconvenience for local residents like Deborah Tucker. The county is utilizing $4.8 million in Emergency Bridge Repair funds for the project, which is expected to total $5.1 million, with 95% funded by the state to avoid raising local taxes. The new bridge is projected for completion by July 2025.

SUMMARY: Ashley Grayson, a 35-year-old woman from Dallas, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for her involvement in a murder-for-hire plot targeting a Southaven, Mississippi woman over an online feud. Grayson believed the woman was criticizing her internet-based business and sought to hire a couple from Memphis to commit the murder, offering $20,000 for each killing. The plot was exposed when the couple recorded a conversation detailing the plan. Grayson was convicted in March 2024, while her husband was acquitted. The judge emphasized the emotional toll on the victim and her family due to Grayson’s actions.
