Bad news guys.... the scammers are back and apparently brain stormed a new tactic.

First things first, friendly reminder we will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER ask for payment over the phone or through money transfer apps..... EVER!

If you are contacted about payment for the release with an ankle monitor of a family member who was arrested and given instructions on how to pay, this is not something we do!

Normal process for bonding out requires you or the arrestee to contact a bonding company to establish payment based on your bond amount. If there is an ankle monitor required or requested, it is taken care of during the release (not over the phone).

Always remember, you can always give us a call to confirm before you pay anyone.

We have received multiple calls in reference to threats circulating online involving many coastal schools. We wanted to confirm that while we are aware of these threats, we are not the primary investigating agency and are limited on information available. However, we are assisting any way we are needed as well as being available to the school district in any way possible.

At this time we have been advised the threats are not believed to be credible, but the investigation is still ongoing. If we are given further information or concerns, we will do our best to keep our community in the loop.

We could not have said it better ourselves.

There were countless hours of hard work across multiple agencies to put this case together. Everyone’s willingness to come together for the purpose of obtaining justice for Lauren Johansen finally paid off today with a guilty plea to capital murder. Bricen Rivers was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Thank you to each person that had a hand in this case. Your hard work is appreciated more than you know!

Today, Bricen Rivers pled guilty to capital murder and received a sentence of LIFE without the possibility of parole for the murder of Lauren Johansen.

This was a truly heinous crime where the dangers of domestic violence cannot be denied. Obtaining justice for Lauren is something that my trial partner, Bryan Buckley, and I have worked on extensively for over two years.

Results like this do not happen without substantial collaboration. I would like to personally and publicly thank all of the following agencies for their assistance in obtaining justice for Lauren Johansen:

Lin Carter District Attorney
Crosby Parker, District Attorney
Attorney General Lynn Fitch
Forrest County Sheriff's Office
Hattiesburg Police Department (Official)
Harrison County Sheriff's Office

Finally, please do not forget the family of Lauren Johansen. Let’s not forget that they received the ultimate sentence today-life without Lauren in it. Please remember them in your prayers as they continue to heal.
