The Sixth Chancery Youth Drug Court received a donation of a Honda Accord that was seized by the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics. The vehicle will primarily be used by the Drug Court Coordinator Wesley Hazelwood, who must travel throughout the six county district.
Chancellor Joseph Kilgore, who oversees the drug court, stated: “I want to give a special thanks to the Philadelphia Police Chief, Grant Myers, who took it upon himself to diligently look for us in a car. He has been a huge supporter of our drug court right from the start. I also want to thank MBN Director John Dowdy for all his help and support. Eric Carter of Extreme Tinting generously donated the window tinting and repairs to the headlights. I have been really pleased at all the community support of the drug court. People realize that the drug use among our people is a growing problem and needs to be addressed as early in life as possible.”
The Sixth Chancery Youth Drug Court began operations on August 1, 2017. The drug court operates in the youth courts of Attala, Neshoba, and Winston counties, but is able to serve youth in the other counties of the district as well, which are Carroll, Choctaw, and Kemper counties.
