SUMMARY: Bryson Rivers, accused of murdering 22-year-old nursing student Lauren Johansson, was out on bond for a previous attack against her. A judicial investigation is looking into how he was allowed to leave Nashville, where he was ordered to stay, and return to Mississippi. Rivers’ request for bond was denied, with Johansson’s father expressing that this decision should have been made earlier. A bond agent claimed ignorance of the conditions of Rivers’ release, while concerns were raised about the competence of the original Nashville judge. Rivers faces charges of first-degree murder and evidence tampering, pending a grand jury review.

In a Davidson County, Tenn. courtroom, a panel of six judges questioned Brooke’s Bail Bonding and Freedom Monitoring Services.

SUMMARY: The 4th of July celebrations come with important safety precautions. In Buxy, fireworks are usually illegal except on special occasions like Independence Day. Police Lieutenant Candace Young advises treating fireworks as explosives, keeping children from using them, and staying in safe, clear areas away from people and houses. Fireworks can distress pets, so bring animals indoors to prevent them from fleeing. Boaters should avoid designated fireworks-free zones in the sound and never operate a boat under the influence. A detailed map of restricted areas is available on Buxy’s website. Expect heavy traffic near the official fireworks show along Beach Boulevard.
