Sheriff fires officer who turned on Mississippi State

Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson fired correctional officer Rodricus Hurst for releasing truthful information about a player arrest that embarrassed the Mississippi State football program.  Earlier this year, a reporter contacted Lee Country Jail once word got out that 22-year-old star MSU wide receiver Chad Bumphis was in jail for his involvement in a physical altercation during a friend’s birthday party at a Tupelo bar.  Hurst told a North Mississippi Daily Journal reporter that Bumphis was arrested but released on...

Though he was injured in Saturday’s game, the neck brace isn’t enough to keep Demps down. Coach Urban Meyer expects him to suit...
