SUMMARY: National Police Week continued in Hattisburg with the police department taking time each day to remember fallen officers and engage with the community. They started the day with a “coffee with a cop” event where the community was invited to have coffee with officers, fostering a personal connection beyond official interactions. The department aims to help residents see officers as individuals before they may need their help. Those who missed the event can show support by wearing blue the next day in honor of law enforcement. These initiatives aim to strengthen community-police relations and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

SUMMARY: Good evening, I'm Craig Ford. Emily Leonard has the evening off. Thanks for joining us for WTV 9 News at 6. A woman in Monroe County encountered an unexpected visitor during her morning commute. Jennifer Adams found a large snake hitching a ride on her car on Smithville Road near Hatley. Initially mistaking it for a man on a horse, Adams was horrified to realize it was a snake emerging from under her hood. She believes the snake was trying to reach a bird's nest using her SUV for height leverage. The snake, likely a nonvenomous rat snake, eventually fell off her car. Reporting live, Jake White, WTV 9 News.
