DISPATCH STAFF REPORT

A West Point woman has been charged with capital murder after local police and the Mississippi Fire Marshal’s Office uncovered evidence she allegedly set a house fire that killed a 62-year-old disabled man on Brownlee Thanksgiving. Latoria Jennae Brownlee, 37, is accused of the murder of her father- in-law, William Brownlee, Sr., who died in a fire in his home. Responders with West Point police and fire departments were called to a home on Washington Street shortly after 4 p.m. Nov. 23 in response to a house fire, according to a press release from WPPD. Latoria Brownlee notified responders her father- in-law was in the home. Latoria Brownlee was arrested Wednes- day night and is currently being held in the Clay County Jail in West Point on $250,000 bond. District Attorney Scott Colom said at a press conference Thursday that he hopes to present the case to a grand jury soon, which will speed up the trial process.

The Sturgis Volunteer Fire Department responded to the call at 1:15 a.m., with firefighters from Central Oktibbe- ha County and Maben fire departments also responding. The home was fully engulfed as firefighters arrived and the house was total loss.

Obviously, the members of the Council and the Mayor do not comprehend all the work the CVB does on behalf of our city. Are the city “leaders” now going to be in the business of attracting conventions, fishing rodeos, soccer tournaments and general tourists to our city? If they do try, how are they going to facilitate those events? Are they going to man the Welcome Center? I certainly hope they do not take this job on. Just look at the embarrassing paving job done by them on 10th Street North between Second and Third ave- nues. That will be the future of out tourism industry! Please, “gentlemen,” do not be like our people in Washington. Please think about your constituents who elect you, pay your salary, and provide your health insurance. Stop being obstinate little boys and look for a compromise. How can you let this organization and its funding go? This would be a travesty. I love Columbus and have always defended it, but I really do worry about its future. I hope you will take a step in changing my mind by working to keep the CVB in business. Eulalie H.
