“As a lifelong resident of Bogalusa, I share with you a love for the traditions, history, and hometown flavour of our city,” she wrote. “The city of Bogalusa and our people mean everything to me. The violence that has affected Bogalusa’s citizens is alarming. As your mayor for the last eight years, I have, alongside so many of you, wrangled the damage of floods, hurricanes, COVID, and other unavoidable catastrophes.”

She continued, “But the violence we have recently witnessed is entirely avoidable, and as the leader of our city it is my sworn duty to do everything within my power to keep the people of Bogalusa safe. The pain that has been caused by the loss of JayDaYoungan and the injury of Kenyatta Scott Sr. is indescribable to the family and friends of these victims, and to our community as well.”

The father and son convicted of federal hate crimes in the death of Ahmaud Arbery were sentenced Monday to life in prison.

Gregory McMichael, 66, chased 25-year-old Arbery on Feb. 23, 2020, with his son, Travis McMichael, 36, who fired the fatal shot.

The McMichaels’ neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, 52, joined the chase and recorded video. He was also convicted of federal hate crimes and was sentenced Monday to 35 years.

“I feel every shot every day that I wake up,” Arbery’s mother, Wanda Cooper-Jones, told reporters outside the Brunswick, Georgia, courthouse Monday. The Rev. Jesse Jackson joined Arbery’s parents at the sentencing.

All three men are already serving life in prison for Arbery’s killing after being found guilty of murder in a Georgia state court last fall. The McMichaels were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole while Bryan was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole.

The three white men were convicted in the federal case in February by a jury that decided they followed and killed Arbery because he was Black.

Fetty Wap rearrested over threatening phone call

The rapper Fetty Wap displayed a gun and threatened to kill someone during a December FaceTime call, according to federal prosecutors on Long Island who moved to revoke his bond Monday.

Fetty Wap, 30, was arrested in New Jersey on charges he violated the conditions of his pretrial release.

Fetty Wap, whose birth name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, is awaiting trial in Central Islip federal court after he was indicted last September for conspiring to distribute heroin and fentanyl on Long Island. He was released on a $500,000 bond.

Federal prosecutors are now seeking to revoke the bond because Maxwell allegedly violated its terms during the December 11, 2021 FaceTime call in which he threatened to kill the person on the other end of the phone. That person was identified in court papers as John Doe.

“According to John Doe, the FaceTime call occurred on December 11, 2021, and in the call the defendant possessed a gun, threatened to kill him, and called an individual a ‘rat,’ despite the fact that this was a direct violation of both state law and the conditions of his release,” an affidavit sworn by FBI Special Agent Derek Wonderland said. The FBI obtained a video recording of the FaceTime call in which Fetty Wap “is shown holding a gun and pointing it towards John Doe,” according to the affidavit.

“The defendant then says to John Doe ‘Imma kill you and everybody you with,’ which he then repeats one more time. The defendant then continues to threaten John Doe, saying ‘I’m gonna kill you,’ a threat which he repeats several more times throughout the video call.”
