Probation revoked for threat suspect BY JEBB JOHNSTON jjohnston@dailycorinthian.com
The Alcorn County man accused of making a threat against a school in Tishomingo County is now in custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
Judge James Roberts Jr. entered an order revoking the probation with post release supervision of Japeth Emmanuel Wilson, 19, of County Road 312, Corinth. Wilson, who was arrested in Corinth on Oct. 6, appeared in Alcorn County Cir-
cuit Court during Wednesday’s session of plea and revocation hearings. Court records show Roberts entered an emergency order for the immediate transport of Wilson to MDOC custody. The court found that Wilson violat-
ed the terms of his probation by using illegal drugs, committing an additional crime and failing to pay court monies and supervision fees to MDOC. The judge reinstated 24 suspended years of Wilson’s prior sentences, suspending eight
years, leaving 16 years to serve with five years of post-release supervision. He was also ordered to enter the long-term drug and alcohol program. Wilson was blamed for a Please see SUSPECT | 5

It takes two to tango. A pair is also a good combination when it comes to improving soil and water resources within the Tarebreeches Creek watershed. Landowners and the Alcorn County Soil and Water Conservation District and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are making a cost-share program work in the area. “The program helped me stabilize some areas that were experiencing severe active erosion,” said local landowner Steve Wilbanks said. “By installing conservation practices, I was able to regain land that had to be left out and the funding allowed me to do needed work to repair erosion problems.” Program funds were made Tan #6348

IUKA — Leaving behind a legacy of honor, service and commitment to his country, Sgt. Jason Walter Vaughn is remembered by family, friends and loved ones as a personable, gregarious individual who collected friends wherever he went. A dedicated solider, Vaughn’s life was cut short on May 10, 2007, in Baqubah, Iraq, when an improvised explosive device detonated under his vehicle. He was 29 years old. He is the only Tishomingo Countian to be killed in Iraq while in the line of duty. Vaughn was assigned to the 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, in Fort Lewis, Wash., near
Tacoma. The Tishomingo County native was serving his second tour in Iraq with the original Stryker Brigade in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He enlisted in the U.S. Army for a four-year term, was inducted into the Army in 2003 in Memphis and was sent to Fort Benning, Ga., for Basic and Advanced Infantry Training (AIT). With his second year of duty completed, his unit should have already returned home, but its time was unexpectedly extended. “On March 20, 2007, Jason called from Kuwait to tell us he was on the way home for a 15-day leave. He had been in Iraq a year, and their unit received an extension of Please see WALTER | 2

The commission was organized to assist local soil and water conservation districts with programs to help local farmers improve and protect soil and water quality in their respective counties. “It has a direct impact on water quality in the watershed,” added Wilbanks. Over $300,000 in costshare funds has been spent in the Tarebreeches Creek watershed through the 319 program, according to NRCS Technician Shane Huff. “The program has been beneficial for landowners in the watershed,” said Huff.
