Forrest Co. Deputies will receive new motorcycles

FORREST COUNTY, Miss. - Forrest County Board of Supervisors approved the Forrest County Sheriff's Department Monday to receive brand new motorcycles.

Investigator, Nick Calico said, "Over time, they have improved the capabilities, and engine, and safety for the motorcycles, and that's why we're upgrading."

The department will purchase three 2017 Harley Davidson Electrogylde motorcycles with seized money.
