Suspect accused of killing Ole Miss student to stand trial in October 2024
SUMMARY: Timothy Herrington Jr., the suspect accused of killing Ole Miss student Jimmie “Jay” Lee, will stand trial starting on October 14, 2022. Herrington was indicted on a capital murder charge in March and was arrested on July 22, 2022. His legal team filed a lawsuit against the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department, leading to his release on certain conditions. Investigators believe Herrington and Lee were in an intimate relationship and had an argument before Lee’s disappearance. Court documents reveal that Herrington searched on his computer about strangling someone. Cadaver dogs detected the scent of a dead body in Herrington’s apartment and car, as well as a box-moving truck he had access to. Herrington’s trial is expected to last two weeks.

Free gift or not? Mississippi police warn of ‘brushing’ scam during holiday season
SUMMARY: Mississippi police are warning about a holiday scam called “brushing,” which is becoming more prevalent as package deliveries rise in December. This scam involves recipients receiving unexpected packages accompanied by a QR code that claims to reveal the sender’s identity. Scanning this QR code can compromise personal information, leading to potential theft. Victims may receive items with little to no information about the sender, including claims related to Amazon. Officials advise against scanning any unfamiliar QR codes and recommend reporting such packages. Awareness is key to protecting personal data this holiday season, according to police.

Government shutdown averted just after deadline as Congress passes stop-gap bill
SUMMARY: As the government shutdown deadline approached, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Saturday to temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, excluding President-elect Donald Trump’s debt ceiling demands. The House overwhelmingly approved the bill, which funds the government through March 14 and includes disaster assistance. Trump had insisted on a debt ceiling increase, threatening a shutdown, but GOP leadership opted for a compromise with Democrats. The outcome raises questions about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s future amidst GOP dissent. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill, averting a shutdown that could affect millions, especially during the holiday season.
