JACKSON, Miss.–How long has it been since you paid under $3 for a gallon of gas consistently? Now the state average has dipped below $3. It could go even lower. Here are some news briefs to kick off your Monday:
GAS UNDER $3
Gas hasn’t been under three bucks for a while in Mississippi, but here it is. The cheapest is Southaven at $2.69, Clinton and Tunica and $2.74. Oil expert Trilby Lundberg says it could go lower because crude oil is cheaper. For you that means lower gas prices, obviously, and for Mississippi, some of the cheapest gas anywhere.
FLAMINGO VIDEO
A video about stealing the flamingo at the Hattiesburg Zoo? Devin Nottis, the guy arrested last week for that, apparently posted the video to Snap Chat where he brags about it. Nottis and the PIKES are suspended from USM. It was supposedly a frat prank.

He’s charged with sexual battery of an underage child and cops say it happened on his cotton farm. WCBI reports not much more than that is being said right now because the victim was so young.
