SUMMARY: Joshua Smith, a man from Picayune, has been sentenced to over 18 years in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Smith was involved in a large-scale drug trafficking organization around a decade ago. In 2015, officers began investigating the organization, which was primarily located in Picayune and Pearl River County. Smith and another co-defendant were identified as part of the conspiracy three years later. Federal agents used a confidential source to make purchases of methamphetamine from Smith. Smith was indicted in 2022 and pled guilty in 2023 to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

Carter’s proven ability to retain talent, along with fan and institutional backing, helped Ole Miss secure Beard’s commitment. Under Beard, the Rebels are expected to field one of their best rosters in history next season, building on a strong 44-24 record and advancing to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

SUMMARY: The 2025 Mississippi legislative session ended without passing a $7 billion budget due to internal conflicts among Republican officials. The House sought a brief extension to address budget bills, but the Senate did not meet the deadline. House Speaker Jason White criticized longstanding practices, advocating for a transparent budget process, while Senate leaders expressed frustration over the House’s absence during crucial discussions. With no budget finalized, Governor Tate Reeves must call a special session to ensure funding by June 30, or face government shutdowns affecting over 100,000 employees. Special sessions incur substantial taxpayer costs, exceeding $100,000 per day.
