DRUG ABUSE ISN'T A CRIME WITHOUT VICTIMS

Suspects in two brutal Pine Belt crime cases were brought to justice in the past week, resulting in lengthy sentences behind bars.

The first involved an April 12 home invasion in Rawls Springs in which homeowner Steven Spencer was shot five times in front of his family.  He still has three of the bullets lodged in his body.

On Monday, Forrest County Circuit Judge Bob Helfrich sentenced teenagers Channin Terrell Wilson and Domiano Ratcliff to 60 years each on armed robbery and aggravated assault charges.  Ten years of the sentences were suspended.
