Parts of Jackson metro under flash flood warning
SUMMARY: Flash flooding occurred today on Mill Street in Jackson, a common occurrence due to heavy rain. The flood gauge showed almost three feet of water under the bridge, with a vacant vehicle partially submerged. M-DOT Public Information Officer Michael Flood advised drivers to avoid flooded roads and encouraged them to turn around if they encounter even an inch of water. Flash flooding can be dangerous, as it forms quickly and can disappear just as fast. Flood also emphasized the importance of calling 911 if stuck in floodwaters. In response to the flooding, Rankin County has shut down certain areas. Stay safe during rainy weather.

Protest leads one lady to Aliceville prison
SUMMARY: Bevelyn Batty Williams faces 41 months in prison for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act during a pro-life protest outside Planned Parenthood in Manhattan in June 2020. Convicted in February 2023, she was accused of intimidating and obstructing individuals seeking reproductive health services, including physically blocking access and making threats. Her husband claims her comments were misunderstood as spiritual warfare rather than actual threats. Despite being found not guilty of conspiracy related to different clinics nationwide, her actions led to a harsher sentence, with prosecutors labeling her a “ring leader” in the protests.
