Tuesday morning's roundup covers newly reported developments in Alcorn and Union counties and a timely Benton County event listing. Event times are schedules, not reports that the events have happened.
Alcorn: Corinth man receives concurrent 25-year sentences
Circuit Judge Kelly Mims sentenced Bacarra Hill, 39, to 25 years on each of two counts, with the sentences running concurrently, on Monday, Oct. 19, according to Tippah News' account of a First Circuit District Attorney's Office release. The guilty pleas were for methamphetamine trafficking in a 2024 case and attempted murder in an Oct. 1, 2026, case. The DA's office said the trafficking sentence must be served day for day, without parole or early release on that count, followed by five years of post-release supervision. Alcorn County News also reported the sentencing Monday evening. The two 25-year terms run at the same time; they do not add up to 50 years.
Union: Student benefit game set for Thursday
A student powderpuff football game is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 22, at 8:55 a.m. at Kitchens Field, Union County News reported late Monday, citing a Student Council announcement. The report says parents and community members are invited and the Student Council will collect donations for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at the event. The source did not identify a ticket price.
Benton: Circus lists two evening shows
Circus Classic's organizer page lists a 7 p.m. show Tuesday, Oct. 20, at the Benton County Agri Center, 17136 MS-5 in Canaan. A second organizer listing gives 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the same venue. The pages label the stop "Ashland" while giving the venue's Canaan street address; readers should use the listed address to plan a visit. These are previously posted schedules highlighted because the first show is tonight, and show status and ticket availability should be checked with the organizer before travel.
No separate meaningful new Prentiss or Tippah County development with enough verified detail was found for this edition. The late Union County parade and pageant posts repeat information covered in earlier RCTV 19 roundups, and the Tuesday Tippah report on the Alcorn sentencing concerns the same Alcorn case above.
