Tipton County Sheriff’s Office Detectives have identified the two suspects in a home invasion robbery.  At about 3:50 PM on 11 March 2013 deputies were summoned to the 10 block of Robin Hood Circle in Millington (Tipton County) regarding two armed males that entered the residence and demanded money from two victims, Lucus Miracle and Jeremy Wyatt. The robbers held the victims at gunpoint until the residence was searched and the duo fled with approximately $611.00 in cash and a firearm.  The victims were not injuried in the robbery.

CCA, America's leader in partnership corrections, is proud to announce that Tammy Ford, sixteen-year employee of CCA and seasoned corrections professional, has been promoted to warden at West Tennessee Detention Facility located in Mason, TN.

Some 40 plus guests and members of the Tipton County Master Gardeners welcomed Jody and Danna Walker from Ripley TN, guest speakers at the meeting on Thursday night. The Walkers brought great information and a photo presentation about Japanese Maples. The attendees were 'spell-bound' and had many questions regarding the planting and care of these beautiful plants.

The Walker's passion for Japanese maples began in the 1990’s. It is a hobby that they enjoy together. They have some 150 cultivars of these maples which include some rare specimens. Last year they hosted several private tours which included some of the leading horticultural specialists of this area who were amazed at the number of cultivars growing in Zone 7.
