Moss Point residents speak out on Mayor Mario King’s indictment

News 25 reached out to residents of Moss Point for reactions about Mayor Mario King’s indictment.

While most citizens refused to be on camera, we did get a few comments. One resident told us “I’m trying to be a good Christian and what I mean by that is since I don’t have anything nice to say I’m not going to say anything.”

Also a resident that has lived in Moss Point for 46 years said, “I don’t care for him at all. The city is more divided than what it was.”

John Mosley Jr. lost to Mayor Mario King in the 2017 election. He voices his opinion on the situation. “It’s a sad day for Moss Point. I feel for the family. I feel for the children. It’s just something I can’t put into words. On the same token though, I’m glad that we uncovered something of possible criminal activity. Of course, we have to let process play out, but if it is true it is a sad day for Moss Point, but it could possibly be a good day.”

Mosley Jr. intends on running for mayor of Moss Point in the next election.

News 25 reached out to Mayor Mario King for a comment and we are waiting for him to return our call.
