Read Adam Lynch's breaking story that first revealed Mayor Frank Melton's Aug. 26 alleged rampage on Ridgeway Street in Jackson—the accusations that led to felony indictions of Melton and his bodyguards two weeks later on Sept. 15. Adam's story first appeared the afternoon of Sept. 1, 2006. You can read Lynch's exclusive interview with victim Evans Welch here. The JFP also broke the story about Evans Welch's schizophrenia here.
Follow-ups to the story appear both in the JFP's Noise Blog (breaking news) as well as on the JFP's MeltonBlog, which archives all of the Jackson Free Press' coverage of Frank Melton to date.
