SUMMARY: Emerald Wuertz, a former deputy clerk from Ellisville, has been sentenced to four years in prison followed by two years of probation after pleading guilty to embezzlement. Wuertz was accused of manipulating city water fund payments to pocket some of the money. Discrepancies in department records led to her dismissal in April 2021 and her arrest in September 2023 by the Mississippi State Auditor’s Office. She initially faced charges of redirecting $41,246.20 from water bill payments but must now repay a total of $43,955.45, including fines and court costs.

SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers passed Senate Bill 2211, enhancing sexual assault victims’ rights, and sent it to Gov. Tate Reeves. The bill mandates hospitals with emergency rooms to conduct rape kit exams and requires law enforcement to keep victims informed about their cases. Victims will have easier access to case information, with a seven-day response deadline for law enforcement inquiries. Additionally, agencies must notify victims before disposing of evidence. Hospitals must provide forensic exams and cannot refuse victims seeking rape kits. If signed, the law will take effect on July 1, addressing previous concerns about denied exams.

Prevention involves minimizing exposure by keeping windows closed during high pollen counts and showering after outdoor activities. Allergy testing can help identify specific triggers, while various over-the-counter medications, such as antihistamines and nasal sprays, are available for relief.
