Lee County Sheriff's Office
The following reports were filed Monday and Wednesday by the Lee County Sheriff's Office.
A County Road 1149, Plantersville, woman said she thinks the residents of a house just up the road moved away and left their dog chained to a tree. She tried knocking on the door, but no one answers. She said the dog has been there for more than a week. She has provided the dog food and water.
A Tupelo man said he was mowing his aunt's County Road 931, Tupelo, property when he saw a homeless man behind the house. He said the homeless man is squatting in empty 18-wheeler trailers at the business next door. He said he told the homeless man to not trespass on the aunt's property.
A man said someone abandoned a vehicle on his County Road 1145, Tupelo, property. Since the car is on private property, the deputy told the man he could call a wrecker service and have it towed.
A Tupelo woman said she was at work at Stanley Black & Decker on Highway 145 South. She said she took her diabetes medication in the break room around 12:30 p.m. during a break. She put the medicine back in her bag and returned to her workstation. When she later looked for the silver and black zippered bag, it was missing. Besides the diabetes medicine and a blood tester, the bag contained her blood pressure medication and a set of keys. She has no idea who took the bag.
A Palmetto Road woman said her security system went off at 1:30 a.m. while she was out of town. The camera showed two white males walking around the property. Deputies responded to the address, but the suspects had left. The woman said she would call when she returned if anything was missing.
A Herzog Railroad Services employee was working on the railroad near County Road 520 in the Brewer area when two stray dogs walked up to him. There was no one anywhere near the dogs, one all black and the other black and white. He believed they were not being cared for.
A Presley Drive woman said her neighbor pays someone to mow his yard. The 40-something Black male keeps mowing past the property line and cutting her grass as well. She has told the neighbor many times that he needs to tell the mower to stop mowing in her yard.
A County Road 41, Palmetto, woman got up around 3 a.m. to take her dogs outside. When she opened the door, an unknown white male was standing under her carport. She began screaming and the man took off running down the driveway, turning south on County Road 41. The responding deputies observed footprints where the suspect had run through the yard.
Anyone with information on any of these repots is urged to call the Lee County Sheriff's Office at 841-9041, the Tupelo Police Department at 841-6491 or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi at (800) 773-TIPS or download the P3 Tip App and leave an anonymous tip that way.

Cyclist recovering after being hit by pickup truck in Burlington County, New Jersey: "I'm very grateful to be here"

A South Jersey cyclist is recovering after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Burlington County. "For getting hit by a truck, it's only some bruises here, a cut here, some road rash here and on my arms," said Patrick Allen, who considers himself lucky. Allen is on the mend after suffering a concussion and other minor injuries after being hit by a pickup truck while riding his bicycle. "I don't remember the incident, I remember waking up in the hospital... I didn't know what day it was," he said. It happened on July 18 around 5:30 p.m. near the intersection of Medford Lakes and Oak Shade roads in Tabernacle, near the Medford line. The 27-year-old says he was in the bike lane at the time, training for a 160-mile bike-a-thon for cancer research. He's riding in memory of his dad. "Me and my family, we do it every year. My father had cancer, and he passed last November. So this is the first year it's going to be in his memory," Allen said. Josh Duvall lives near the intersection and raced over to help Allen, who was bleeding on the ground. "It sounded like an actual car accident," said Duvall, who helped get Allen and his bike off the road. Duvall said the driver stopped for a moment and then took off. "It was very clearly that you hit a human being on a bike and sped away, like peeled out," he said. "You could hear the tires screeching... saw the back of the vehicle." New Jersey State Police are investigating the crash. Allen is now asking homeowners in the area to review their security cameras in the hopes of finding the driver responsible. Signs are marked, alerting drivers to share the road, and several roadside memorials remind Allen it could have been much worse. "I'm very grateful to be here, truck versus bike, it usually ends one way, but I was fortunate enough to walk away from it," Allen said. Allen is still healing, but he's determined to continue his training and complete the race in two weeks in memory of his dad. Anyone with information about the crash is urged to call the New Jersey State Police.

South Carolina dance teacher arrested after questionable routine uncovers serious allegations

A South Carolina dance teacher was arrested after an investigation that began when parents raised flags about a dance routine "that conflicted with their morals." Andrea Mizell, 45, is accused of giving her students alcohol, having vulgar conversations with them, showing them sexually explicit photos of herself and touching them inappropriately during dance practice, according to a police incident report obtained by Fox News Digital. She was charged with four counts of second-degree assault and battery, four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and three counts of disseminating harmful material to minors, according to court documents. Police in Hanahan began investigating Mizell when officers responded March 12 to reports of an argument at a dance school. Some of the parents told authorities they were morally conflicted over a dance routine being taught to their children. When Mizell reportedly set a time to meet with one concerned parent to discuss the problem, she fled in her car and drove away after seeing several parents at the school, the police report states. Mizell later told police she felt intimidated and left out of fear. When officers spoke to the children who attended the dance school, they were told Mizell had given them alcohol and was having "vulgar conversations" with them. She also allegedly invited some of them to her apartment and served them margaritas while they watched a movie. She also allegedly discussed her sex life with the students. Students told investigators Mizell had also touched them inappropriately, including "in the private parts on the butt," according to court documents reported in local media. One student allegedly told police the touching happened multiple times during dance practice and that Mizell would "go out of her way" to touch the student. Some students claimed Mizell would also change her clothes in front of them, often exposing herself. Fox News Digital has reached out to Mizell for comment.
