Court hearing delayed for Mississippi man accused of child abuse
SUMMARY: A Panola County mother seeks justice against Dalton Melton, charged with severely beating her three children in 2023. Melton, facing charges of felony child abuse, domestic violence, and aggravated assault, apologized in court, blaming drugs for his actions. His ex-wife Robin hoped for justice at a plea hearing, now delayed until July, concerned that a potential deal could release him early. She pushes for a 20-year sentence, wanting her children to be safe. Robin is frustrated by Melton's accusations of neglect and emotional wounds, serving him divorce papers in court. Melton is in custody at Parchman State Penitentiary.

SUMMARY: TCPS football had an 8-4 season, returning to the playoffs after a 2022 ban. They defeated Coffeeville but lost to Vardaman. Senior linebacker James Thomas said the loss motivates the team. This year, they will rely on underclassmen, with head coach Brad Kimberlin noting the need for sophomores and possibly freshmen. Senior QB Jeb Brown, mentored by last year's starter Brewer Bailey, will lead the team. Kimberlin emphasized offseason work's importance. TCPS's season opener is against East Union on Aug. 30.

SUMMARY: An inmate escaped from the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility (CMCF) on July 5 but was recaptured wearing only a sheet shortly afterward. Authorities, including Rankin County deputies, the Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP), and local police forces, were alerted around 12:45 p.m. after discovering blood and clothing on the prison's exterior fence. They established a perimeter and searched for the escapee. A suspicious individual in a nearby neighborhood was reported by a citizen, prompting the deployment of K-9 “Voodoo,” who quickly tracked and found the inmate in a lake. The Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) has taken the inmate back into custody and is conducting an internal investigation.
