SUMMARY: Jackson Police have charged 28-year-old Isiah Gathrite in connection with the burglary of Dabbs Cannabis Dispensary after he was arrested by Capitol Police for an active warrant in Georgia. Gathrite, who also faces charges for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, was linked to the burglary following a traffic stop. The incident involved two suspects who broke into the dispensary, stealing over $20,000 worth of products, which remain unrecovered. The dispensary’s management is seeking the second suspect and appreciates community support in the investigation. Jackson Police emphasize the importance of protecting local businesses.

SUMMARY: The city of West Point is preparing for its 31st Martin Luther King Day celebration, organized by Anna Jones of the MLK committee. This year, the theme is “The Strength to Dream,” aimed at encouraging youth to set and pursue goals. The event features a march from Nava down Main Street to Mary Holmes College, with a program awaiting participants. In case of inclement weather, a motorcade will take place. Youth involvement, including performances by the local drum line, is emphasized. Jones expresses hope that Dr. King would be proud of their continued efforts and community spirit.
A Martin Luther King Jr. Day march and program are scheduled for Jan. 20 in West Point.
SUMMARY: Recently, stunning images of the full wolf moon and its halo, attributed to high cirrus clouds, captivated viewers. Temperatures currently hover in the 30s, not feeling too harsh due to calm winds. A warming trend is expected, with highs reaching the upper 50s by Wednesday and mid-60s by Saturday. However, a cold front arriving Saturday night will lead to a significant drop in temperatures, with highs in the 40s on Sunday and potentially not exceeding the 30s by Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There’s also the possibility of snow early next week, though confidence in forecast models remains low.
