Mayor Frank Melton Admitted To Hospital
Adam Lynch
Jackson Mayor Frank Melton entered St. Dominic Hospital Saturday night.
Jackson Mayor Frank Melton was admitted to St. Dominic Hospital Saturday night, City Information Director Goldia Revies told WLBT. Melton, who is scheduled to stand trial Feb. 2 on federal civil rights charges, has congestive heart failure and is in the end stage of cardiomyopathy. Melton's trial was supposed to begin this week, but Judge Dan Jordan granted Melton a continuance last week, finding he was not fit to stand trial, yet. Revies would not elaborate on the circumstances surrounding Melton entering the hospital. Reached Monday for coment, Melton attorney John Reeves said he did not know if the mayor had been released.
"Let us come together and hope and pray for the mayor's full and speedy recovery," Reeves said. "Regardless of what you may think of the mayor, we should all hope for his good health."
