SUMMARY: A student at New Hope High School in LS County was arrested for bringing a gun on campus, according to Sheriff Eddie Hawkins. A parent alerted the school about her son’s involvement in a planned fight, mentioning another student intended to bring a gun. Following this tip, a principal checked the student’s vehicle and discovered the firearm inside. The 17-year-old has been charged, but since it involves a firearm on campus, the charge is not an automatic felony and will be processed in Youth Court. Further information is forthcoming.

SUMMARY: A section of Highway 72 in Corinth has reopened after several hours of closure due to an 18-wheeler that tipped over while making a turn. Chief Landon Tucker reported that the semi’s load shifted, causing the trailer to fall on its side and knock down a power pole and line. The truck was carrying metal and steel, which spilled onto the highway. Cleanup efforts took until 3:45 AM to complete, but fortunately, the driver was not injured in the incident. Traffic is now back to normal following the removal of the debris on Highway 72 and 45.
