SUMMARY: Meridian law enforcement investigated a social media threat made earlier this week, leading to a search warrant served last night on 64th Court. The FBI assisted after the investigation revealed that Daniel Christian Johnson, 36, had a history of concerning postings. He was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats, currently without bond, with a hearing scheduled for Tuesday. The threats primarily targeted school personnel but were not aimed at any particular school. Multiple agencies collaborated on the investigation, and further details will emerge as federal inquiries continue. Community vigilance is credited for the timely response.

Daniel Christian Johnson, 36, formerly taught at Clarkdale.
Sheriff Ward Calhoun said Johnson was arrested after the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department and Meridian Police Department partnered with the FBI to search his home Thursday night.

SUMMARY: In downtown Jackson, a special art piece commemorates veterans, particularly highlighting a returning World War I soldier. The War Memorial building serves as a tribute to soldiers rather than war itself, featuring the Mississippi Unknown Soldiers Monument alongside sculptures by George Albert Rer. These bar reliefs, modeled after Ray Scott, depict the same soldier in various life stages, from combat to homecoming. Completed just before World War II, the building primarily honors earlier battles, with World War II references limited to the elevator panels. On Veterans Day, the Daily Sip expresses gratitude to veterans for their service.
