Fall session of court takes pleas By BARRY
BURLESON Marshall County Circuit Court finished its fall session in November with a number of defendants pleading guilty to felony charges and the completion of two jury trials, according to circuit clerk Lucy Carpenter. The following cases were settled:
Board hashes utility issues By SUE WATSON While the city of Holly Springs awaits the hiring of a new general manager for the utility department, the mayor and board are grappling with getting the department ready for the new manager. Mayor Andre’ DeBerry said he wants an energy audit of the utilities (electricity, gas, water and sewer) to see if there is loss of product that is costing the utility, and ultimately the city, before the new manager comes in. County OKs permits to extend gas lines By SUE WATSON Some residents bypassed by the natural gas service lines on Higdon Road and along Old Highway 4 will be put in service by the city of Holly Springs. The areas were missed when the original project was initiated due to a shortfall of funds, according to Don Hollingsworth, public works director with the city. Luther named Leader of Year By SUE WATSON
The man whose name has become synonymous with Christmas was chosen as Leader of the Year by the Byhalia Area Chamber of Commerce. Ronnie Luther, who over a decade ago, with his wife Brenda, founded the Clydesdale Christmas Store so children in north Mississippi wouldn’t be left out during the holiday gift giving, was recognized by the chamber for his involvement, service and leadership that “contributes to a better society,” the chamber wrote. Parade Saturday; Swords, Poteet grand marshals By SUE WATSON Frank Swords and George Poteet will jointly serve as grand marshals for the Holly Springs Christmas Parade this Saturday at 5 p.m. downtown. Swords and Poteet are business partners who built NSA, a water and air filtration manufacturing and distribution business. They were schoolmates at Itawamba Junior College and from humble beginnings before making their mark in the corporate world. Team bus burglarized The Mississippi College women’s basketball team bus was burglarized while unattended on the Rust College campus November 24, according to chief Robert Pearson. The Lady Choctaws were in town to play the Lady Bearcats. Marshall woman indicted on false pretense charge Sweetie B. Wooten, 38, of 1710 Marianna Road, Holly Springs, was indicted November 19 by a DeSoto County Grand Jury on a charge of false pretense, according to attorney general Jim Hood. Wooten was charged with intending to cheat or defraud a victim by telling him that she could get him out of a criminal charge if he paid her $10,000. Police respond to 23 calls The Byhalia Police Department responded to 23 calls for the week ending November 23. Chief Gary Looney released the following report – alarm calls, 3; motor vehicle accidents, 1; disturbances, 2; escorts, 2; animal-related calls, 2; medical assistance, 2; fires, 1; miscellaneous calls, 10. Byhalia police officers also made seven arrests during the period. |
