Starkville, Oktibbeha considering juvenile curfews
Lynn Spruill
Authorities in Starkville and Oktibbeha County are weighing whether to implement a juvenile curfew in an attempt to decrease crime among teenagers and pre-teens.
Oktibbeha County supervisors announced Monday they would host a public hearing to address the potential of a juvenile curfew in June. Starkville Mayor Lynn Spruill said after she heard the county was considering a curfew, she wanted to establish one as well.
“We are at a crossroads in my opinion,” Spruill said in the city board of aldermen’s work session April 30. “We have had activity north, south and in the middle of our city, and I think this is a time to recognize, to some extent, that we want parents to do it, but parents don’t seem to be parenting like they need to be.”
Oktibbeha County fire being investigated as arson
Oktibbeha County Fire Department arrived at the scene around 6 a.m. to extinguish the blaze, but the fire had already “extensively damaged” the home, according to county Fire Services Coordinator Patrick Warner.
The homeowner was outside the house with her dog when the fire started, Warner said. No one was injured and the cause is unknown.
The Mississippi State Fire Marshal’s Office is continuing the investigation, OCSO Capt. Brett Watson said.
