DeSoto County — along with its five municipal mayors — filed a complaint against Joey Treadway in April, attempting to force him to continue collecting taxes from Hernando, Horn Lake, Olive Branch, Southaven and Walls. (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian file)
Joey Treadway declared he won’t collect taxes if he doesn’t get a raise. But an injunction by Circuit Court Judge Albert B. Smith of Mississippi’s 11th Judicial District orders him to do his job.
