Crime Rates Remain Low in Southaven

March 26, 2014 by Philip Stroud Leave a Comment

According to the latest reports on criminal activity for the 2013 calendar year in Southaven, homicides and violent crimes have gone down but commercial burglary almost doubled.

The Southaven Police Department’s annual report reveals a total of 474 burglaries reported in the third largest city in the state of Mississippi—that is up from 417 burglaries reported in 2012.

For commercial, or business, burglaries, 43 reports were taken in 2013 compared to only 26 in 2012.  This is where the largest discrepancy lies. [Read more…]

March 5, 2014 by GNGF Leave a Comment

Desoto County Soil and Water Conservation District has continued to promote green land by giving away trees as part of the annual tree giveaway program.

The agency’s yearly giveaway has been going on for 30 years and has given away hundreds of thousands of trees to be planted all around the community.  Just this year, more than 15,000 trees were donated, according to a recent article on the event.

This year, the agency held three tree giveaways in four separate locations—more citizens had the opportunity to receive some trees than ever before.  The locations included Hernando’s Gale Center, Olive Branch City Hall, Horn Lake at Latimer Lakes Park, and Southaven’s own Snowden Grove Park.

Mississippi Attorney General Clarifies Meaning of Newest Gun Law

January 2, 2014 by GNGF Leave a Comment

As a criminal defense attorney in Southaven, Mississippi, most cases I see involving weapon or gun possession charges often are based in the misunderstanding of gun laws, be it by the carrier or law enforcement.

Last month, Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood attempted to clarify the state’s newest gun law, hopefully eliminating much of the confusion. Hood said gun owners with enhanced permits may take their concealed weapons to places like voting booths, government meetings, or state airports. [Read more…]

Marijuana Legalization in Mississippi Struck Down for Fifth Straight Year

November 12, 2013 by GNGF Leave a Comment

Did you know that the idea of legalizing medical marijuana in Mississippi approached the state legislature this year?

As an experienced drug possession defense attorney in Southaven, Mississippi, I consistently keep tabs on activity concerning marijuana legalization in the state.

For the fifth straight year, Sen. Deborah Dawkins introduced the medical marijuana legislation to the Mississippi State Senate. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted down the bill—SB 2369— without granting it a hearing. [Read more…]

Department of Transportation Demands DUI Money Back From Mississippi After State Misspends Millions

February 18, 2013 by Leave a Comment

In a shocking report released by the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Mississippi police departments were faulted for diverting federal money that was meant to help fight drunk driving into helping set up speed traps. Though Mississippi authorities were blamed for their bad decisions, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was similarly faulted for failing to prevent the misuse of money by not implementing strict enough guidelines for how the money was to be used.

The report revealed that over three years, between 2007 and 2010, the Mississippi Office of Highway Safety received nearly $21 million in federal taxpayer money meant to create and run programs to combat drunk driving. [Read more…]

Major Push Underway for Mississippi Concussion Legislation

January 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Several powerful groups have come together to support a bill in the Mississippi legislature that is meant to help keep young children safe from the dangers of traumatic brain injuries. The Mississippi High School Activities Association, the NFL and the state Department of Health agree on the importance of the proposed legislation which would help come up with protocols for how to educate residents of the state about the dangers of concussions and when children should be allowed to resume playing after sustaining a blow to the head.

According to the CDC, a concussion occurs when a person sustains a traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head. Contrary to popular belief, this does not necessarily involve a loss of consciousness. [Read more…]

DeSoto County, MS Unemployment–Affect On Our Community?

December 8, 2011 by Leave a Comment

According to a recent article in the Picayune Item, the unemployment rate in Mississippi is still hovering around 10.6 percent, compared with the national unemployment rate of 9 percent. As of October of 2011, there were 23 counties in Mississippi that reported unemployment rates equal to or less than 10.2 percent with DeSoto County only reporting a rate of 7.3 percent.

While Desoto County is “better off” than the rest of the state and the country as a whole, we are not without our problems. As a Southaven personal injury lawyer, I have personally seen the effects of a declining economy. Not only are insurance companies holding onto settlement funds longer and requiring a claimant to file suit and litigate just to get fair compensation for injuries, clients that are injured and out of work are no longer able to hold on financially–causing them to resort to filing bankruptcy much sooner than they would have in the past.
