A Whitewater Lane, Saltillo, man said a black-and-white pit bull came onto his property and charged at him growling. He said the dog is not from his neighborhood. It was wearing a black harness and left heading down the road.
A County Road 325, Shannon, man said a Black man in a Tahoe pulled into his driveway Saturday afternoon and got stuck after leaving ruts in the yard. The man said he could not leave his residence because the SUV was blocking him. The deputy explained the man could have the Tahoe towed if he wanted, since it is one private property.
A County Road 115, Okolona, said one of the dogs she and her husband own has become aggressive toward her other dogs and cats. She wanted to know what she could do to get rid of it. The deputy said the dog is hers, and she could contact local shelters to see if they could accept it.

A man noticed that a piece of wood over the hinges of his County Road 821, Baldwyn, barn was broken. He did not think the wind could have created the damage. Nothing else was broken and nothing was missing.
A County Road 183, Tupelo, man said someone entered his unlocked truck during the night. Someone went through all the compartments, but nothing appeared to be stolen.
A County Road 811, Saltillo, man said the road is closed in front of his house. Motorists have started using a small bridge on his property to get around the closed road. He said the bridge is only designed to support an ATV crossing the creek. He said the cars have damaged one of the metal rails on the bridge.

Former DC police officer sentenced to 18 months for lying about leaking info to Proud Boys leader

WASHINGTON — A retired police officer was sentenced Friday to 18 months behind bars for lying to authorities about leaking confidential information to the Proud Boys extremist group's former top leader, who was under investigation for burning a Black Lives Matter banner in the nation's capital. Shane Lamond was a lieutenant for the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., when he fed information about its banner burning investigation to then-Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio. Last December, after a trial without a jury, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson convicted Lamond of one count of obstructing justice and three counts of making false statements. Tarrio attended Lamond's sentencing and later called for President Trump to pardon Lamond. 'I ask that the Justice Department and the president of the United States step in and correct the injustice that I just witnessed inside this courtroom,' Tarrio said outside the courthouse after the sentencing. Prosecutors had recommended a four-year prison sentence for Lamond. 'Because Lamond knew what he did was wrong, he lied to cover it up — not just to the Federal Agents who questioned his actions, but to this Court,' they wrote. 'This is an egregious obstruction of justice and a betrayal of the work of his colleagues at MPD.' Lamond's lawyers argued that a prison sentence wasn't warranted. 'Mr. Lamond gained nothing from his communications with Mr. Tarrio and only sought, albeit in a sloppy and ineffective way, to gain information and intelligence that would help stop the violent protesters coming to D.C. in late 2020, early 2021,' they wrote. Tarrio pleaded guilty to burning the banner stolen from a historic Black church in downtown Washington in December 2020. He was arrested two days before dozens of Proud Boys members stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Tarrio wasn't at the Capitol that day, but a jury convicted him of orchestrating a violent plot to keep Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 election. Lamond testified at his bench trial that he never provided Tarrio with sensitive police information. Tarrio, who testified as a witness for Lamond's defense, said he did not confess to Lamond about burning the banner and did not receive any confidential information from him. But the judge said she did not find either man's testimony to be credible. Lamond retired in May 2023 after 23 years of service to the police department. Prior to that he had supervised the intelligence branch of the police department's Homeland Security Bureau. He was responsible for monitoring groups like the Proud Boys when they came to Washington. Prosecutors said Lamond tipped off Tarrio, whom he had met in 2019, that a warrant for his arrest had been signed. They pointed to messages that suggest Lamond provided Tarrio with real-time updates on the police investigation. Lamond's indictment said he and Tarrio exchanged messages about the Jan. 6 riot and discussed whether Proud Boys members were in danger of being charged in the attack. 'Of course I can't say it officially, but personally I support you all and don't want to see your group's name and reputation dragged through the mud,' Lamond wrote. Lamond said he was upset that a prosecutor labeled him as a Proud Boys 'sympathizer' who acted as a 'double agent' for the group after Tarrio burned a stolen Black Lives Matter banner in December 2020. 'I don't support the Proud Boys, and I'm not a Proud Boys sympathizer,' Lamond testified. Lamond said he considered Tarrio to be a source, not a friend. But he said he tried to build a friendly rapport with the group leader to gain his trust. Kunzelman writes for the Associated Press.

Man convicted in double homicide

GOSHEN — A North Carolina man has been convicted in a double homicide from December 2023. Christain Wall, 23, was convicted Thursday of two counts of murder following a trial. He was convicted of killing Michael Pike and Jalen Young, who were shot outside Galley Sports Pub on Dec. 14, 2023. Pike was found dead in the parking lot of the bar and Young died after being transported to the hospital. Bystanders identified Wall as the shooter and police arrested him after finding him in a parked car nearby. Witnesses described a fight in the parking lot involving Wall and described him shooting both men in the head. Police said surveillance video showed Wall shooting both men then getting into the front seat of his vehicle. A Glock 9mm handgun was found in the vehicle and two spent 9mm shell casings were recovered from the parking lot, according to investigators. Wall claimed after his arrest that he didn't remember fighting with or shooting anyone, police said. Wall also admitted during his trial to using a firearm in each crime, an enhancement that could add between five and 20 years to his prison term. His sentencing was set for July 10.
