Mayoral Candidate Still In The Race After Arrest

The Moss Point mayoral candidate who police arrested Thursday is still in the running for mayor.
According to Moss Point Police, Timothy Dubose went to jail after he was pulled over for a minor traffic violation.
Authorities say Dubose is charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and an open container violation.
There are ten other candidates running for mayor.
Moss Point Alderman Wayne Lennep tells News 25 he thinks the upcoming election will be the start of a new chapter for the city.

“I do see this as a new opportunity for Moss Point. We’ve had a lot of interest in this mayoral race and this alderman race…no matter who wins I think just the fact that there is so much interest means there’s people who believe in Moss Point and people who believe in the potential that we have here. I think we have a real opportunity here to take a big step forward and take Moss Point to its potential. I think there is potential here.”
