Good morning. On yesterday, Delta News Reporter David Cho did reach out to me around 9:38 AM. He asked me questions about the shooting from this past weekend in Mound Bayou. I did tell him that I did not have any information and that he would have to contact the police chief because it was still under investigation. After the board meeting yesterday evening, I learned that he stated on the news that I could not be reached, which is not true. I did answer his call and gave him a response. I also let him know that there have been several positive events that have taken place in Mound Bayou over the past several months since his report about our water situation in December of 2024 that was fixed and never came back to me to do an updated report. Mound Bayou is known for more than negative news. We have students that are excelling daily in education and sports. Attached is my statement that was given on Sunday and posted on social media in regards to the crime in Mound Bayou.
I would like to ask that in the future that if a report is made in reference to the Mayor of Mound Bayou, please give an accurate and true statement. I have never and don’t intend to mislead or give false information to the citizens of Mound Bayou. Thank you.
