SUMMARY: Two weeks ago, a Green County Judge denied bond for Drexler Johnson, linked to a triple murder. Johnson appeared for a preliminary hearing today, but it was rescheduled as his attorney was absent. Family members of the victims—Ronda Denson, Lester Campbell, and Jason Thornton—attended, hoping to understand Johnson’s connection to the murders. Johnson informed the court that his attorney had not confirmed their attendance. Without legal representation, the judge decided to postpone the hearing, which will now take place on February 3rd, where evidence against Johnson for capital murder charges will be presented by the prosecution.

SUMMARY: After a spell of below-freezing temperatures, plumbers like Kelvin Yan are facing a surge in demand due to burst and frozen pipes. As the snowstorm leads to widespread issues, Yan is busy identifying leaks, often in hard-to-reach places. Homeowners should inspect areas like toilets and kitchen pipes first, especially in raised foundations where cold air can cause freezing. Signs of trouble, such as water pooling around faucets, indicate a potential leak. Experts emphasize knowing the location of the main water valve for emergencies and advise shutting off water immediately if frozen or burst pipes are found.

SUMMARY: This afternoon is warmer than yesterday, with temperatures ranging from the upper 30s to low 50s. Cold weather will persist overnight, dropping to the mid-20s by Friday morning. Light winds will prevent excessive wind chill, but frostbite risks remain. A warming trend is expected starting Sunday, with temperatures rising to the mid-50s and even reaching 60 by Tuesday. Rain is anticipated on Monday and possible again Wednesday, which is beneficial given the area’s drought conditions. Overall, while the weekend will be chilly, it marks the beginning of a more comfortable weather pattern moving into next week.
