The Clarksville Police Department is investigating an identity theft case at Governor’s Square Mall on July 19 after a victim lost her purse and later saw her credit cards used to buy about $975 of merchandise; authorities say the two suspected women (one heavy set with long dark hair in a blue shirt and one with orange hair tied in a bun wearing a black outfit) fled in a white, four-door vehicle with tinted windows.

Eleven Austin Peay students are gaining hands-on experience this summer with eight local employers through a new 10-week Summer Internship Program launched by the university’s Career Success Center and Workforce Essentials—students like Kade Tjaarda already earned his P&C insurance license—helping set a strong foundation for future careers.
