STATE IN BRIEF

Police seek help in 2012 nightclub slaying in Tuscaloosa TUSCALOOSA — Tuscaloosa police say they’re still trying to solve the slaying of a teenager who was shot to death in a crowded nightclub more than four years ago. The Tuscaloosa News reports that investigators believe dozens of people witnessed the shooting death of 18-year-old Labarron Rice at Club Secret on Dec. 20, 2012. But no one has come forward yet with information leading to an arrest, and authorities are asking for help. Homicide Capt. Gary Hood says investigators believe someone can identify the shooter. Police believe the slaying was related to a shooting that occurred about two weeks earlier at a gas station. A 26-year-old was injured in that incident. Shortly after Rice was killed, someone fired more than 20 shots at a house in Tuscaloosa. Ex-Albertville city worker pleads guilty to theft charge ALBERTVILLE — A former Albertville assistant city clerk has pleaded guilty to stealing city funds, halt- ing a previously scheduled trial. Media outlets report Leigh Ann Jones was arrested last year on charges of first-degree theft and using her public office for personal gain. She is scheduled to be sentenced May 30. Prosecutor Richard Minor says that between 2007 and 2015, Jones stole more than $500,000 from the city. Jones oversaw the city’s ambulance account and handled the city’s bank deposits. Prosecutors say she would place ambulance account checks into cash deposits and take the cash. Jones faces a minimum of two years and maximum of 20 in prison. Anniston Army Depot employee accused in theft case BIRMINGHAM — An Anniston Army Depot employee has been charged with stealing more than $175,000 worth of transmission oil coolers between 2013 and 2015. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, in a news release Wednesday, said federal prosecutors filed a bill of information charging 45-year-old Eric Hardy, of An- niston, with one count of theft of government property. In conjunction with the charge, prosecutors also filed a plea agreement with Hardy. As part of that agreement, Hardy agreed to plead guilty, forfeit $175,537 to the government, and to pay that same amount in restitution to the Anniston Army Depot. The maximum penalty for the theft charge is 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Leeds woman accused of DUI in fatal 2016 head-on wreck LEEDS — Police say a Leeds woman was under the influence of controlled substances when she crashed head-on into another vehicle, killing one woman. Citing records made public on Wednesday, Al.com reports that 31-year-old Jennifer Schrencongost has been indicted on a manslaughter charge in the Feb- ruary 2016 wreck that killed 35-year-old Meredith Jones. — The Associated Press DAILY MOUNTAIN EAGLE Jasper, Ala., Sun., March 5, 2017 www.mountaineagle.com — A5 WHAT’S GOING ON

By JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer

To be clear: “Brokeback Mountain,” this isn’t. The so-called “gay moment” in Disney’s new live- action version of “Beauty and the Beast” is subtle — so subtle that one could easily miss it with an ill- timed sneeze or glance away from the screen. And it may sail over the heads of young viewers. But the cast and director say it is indeed a ga y moment —one they’re proud of. And advocates are calling it a big step forward for Laurie Sparham/Disney via AP Disney and for youth en- tertainment.
