Southaven, MS Criminal Defense Lawyer Review

February 14, 2011 by Philip Stroud Leave a Comment

By Philip Stroud on February 14, 2011 6:41 PM | Permalink

According to a February 2011 article in the Desoto Times Tribune, crime in Southaven for 2010 was down from previous years. According to Southaven police chief, Tom Long, there were only 17 robberies (lowest in 20 years), 529 shoplifting incidents (compared with 639 in 2009), and a significant decrease in felony and non-felony larceny cases. Chief Long attributes the decrease to a more involved community, citing to the fact that the police department received more than 10,000 more calls in 2010 than they did in 2009. Long also attributes the decrease in crime to increased police presence in the city, indicating that citizens and business owners have noticed the extra visibility in patrol vehicles. Finally, Long admits that the decrease in shoplifting charges is also attributable to the fact that several large retailers have closed in harsh economic times.
No matter how diligent the citizens, no matter how aggressive the law enforcement agency, there will always be those who choose to commit crimes in our community. For every arrest that is warranted, the same is true that there are arrests that are unwarranted. If you have been charged with a crime (shoplifting, domestic violence, assault, disorderly conduct, failure to obey law enforcement, resisting arrest, driving under the influence (DUI), possession of marijuana or other drugs, possession of paraphernalia, or any other misdemeanor charge in Southaven), we can help. Please call for a free consultation with a Southaven criminal defense lawyer.
