Franklin Police say alert clerks and Galleria security worked with them yesterday afternoon to take two felons off of Franklin streets. We're told security used cameras to track two suspects whom a clerk reported were attempting to use bogus credit cards to buy diamond jewelry inside of the mall. When arriving Franklin Police Officers approached, they tell us one of the men fled on foot but was quickly apprehended. Officials say together, both suspects possessed 14 fraudulent credit cards and two counterfeit driver’s licenses. Inside the duo’s rental car, officers tell us they discovered merchandise purchased in Ohio, Nashville, and Franklin valued at approximately $70,000. Recovered merchandise included high-end jewelry, designer handbags, and an Apple computer. Police say they found 13 more fraudulent credit cards in the vehicle.

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT
IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.
Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).
It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.
With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.
Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.
Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.
Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
