Clarksdale Mayor Chuck Espy said he is willing to put hands in own pockets to help reduce crime in city.
A Mississippi mayor is prepared to spend thousands of dollars of his own money in order to relocate criminals away from his city as part of innovative plans to reduce crime.
“It’s not to say you just want one criminal to move from one city to the next,” Espy added. “They might just not have the good opportunities they need in this city. The fund forms part of a five-point plan to help curb crime following a review by the Clarksdale Police Department, along with no tolerance policy, the preservation of life, rehabilitation programs and intervention, Espy announced in a statement.
