WBFF Fox 45 :: UPDATE: Metro Police Locate Serial Robber
Metro Police have identified and captured a suspect they believe is one of the people responsible for a string of robberies in and around Nashville. Eleven armed robberies have taken place since November.

In all instances someone phones in to a store just as an armed man goes up to the counter, according to police. The man in the store flashes his gun and the caller tells the clerk to give the gunman money or merchandise. The suspect identified in these cases is Vastna Keo, 19, he's a black male, 5’11” and 165 pounds with facial tattoos.

Police located Keo last night in an East Nashville apartment and were able to take him into custody without incident. Investigators say Keo admitted to his involvement in four of the robberies.

Keo is being held on a long list of charges including aggravated robbery and identity theft. His bond is set at $75,000.UPDATE: Metro Police Locate Serial Robber

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.
