Two brothers were reportedly shot and killed yesterday afternoon by a man who didn't want them riding their SUVs on his property in Sardis – in Saline County.
The brothers are identified as 49-year-old Donald Williams and 46-year-old Michael Williams. Both were employees of the Pulaski County Road and Bridge Department.
The suspect, 67-year C-D Spann, is in the Saline County Jail charged with two counts of first degree murder. He was arraigned Monday morning – bail is 250-thousand-dollars.

The FBI is investigating a case of sabotage after two more hits to the Lonoke County power grid. An electricity substation was set on fire and a power line was intentionally cut in Lonoke County.
Authorities are looking into whether these are related to an incident in August – a downed high voltage power line in Cabot.
The FBI is asking for help from anyone who might have seen something. There is a 25-thousand dollar reward. The number to call: 501-221-9100.

The Jets' Geno Smith came into Atlanta a rookie and left looking like a veteran. Smith calmly guided the New York Jets to victory last night, throwing three touchdown passes and directing a drive that set up a 43-yard field goal on the final play, clinching a 30-28 victory over the staggering Falcons on Monday night.
Not a bad performance for a guy who came into the game leading the NFL in turnovers.
The Falcons were considered a Super Bowl contender at the beginning of the season, but now Atlanta is mired in a three-game losing streak — its longest since 2007 — heading into a bye week.

I'm not gonna lie to you, it's starting to get cold out there. Today's high is only in the low 70s; overnight temps dipping into the mid 40s. It'll warm up later this week, but only a little bit. Chance of storms this weekend.
