A County Road 449 Shannon man said overnight, someone used a coat hanger to unlock his 2009 Chevy Suburban. Once inside, the thief stole six prescriptions for stroke and diabetes, plus a Makita hammer drill and battery.
A Highway 371 Richmond woman said someone dumped five puppies in the road and her grandson brought them to her house. She tried to take them to the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society but was turned away because their shelter is full. Since there is no stray animal ordinance in Lee County, the deputy told her she could try an animal rescue group.
A County Road 2346 Guntown woman said she got a call from a man who sounded Hispanic. The man said he was in town and had been paid $15,000 to kill her. He said he was from Little Rock, Arkansas, and was only in "this small town" long enough to kill her. She said the caller was about to tell her how to stop the hit, but was cut off by her son-in-law.
