Highway named for Moss Point officer

MOSS POINT, Miss. (AP) - A one-mile section of Interstate 10 in southern Mississippi has been named in honor of a Moss Point police officer.

Officer Larry DeWayne Lee was killed in 2002 when a vehicle being chased by another officer struck Lee's patrol car. Lee died
at the scene.

The section named in Lee's honor stretches from the Mississippi 63 interchange to the Pascagoula River Bridge. The state highway
department will erect and maintain two signs, one of each end of the designated stretch.

The section is now named the Officer Larry DeWayne Lee Memorial Highway.
