Foreclosure Notice Filed on David Watkins

A foreclosure notice was released Tuesday, saying that programmer David Watkins has defaulted to Trustmark Bank on financing.

The property is next to the Meridian Police Department building which is leased to the city by Watkins. The property is a parking lot and will probably be sold to the very best bidder Oct. 15, 2015, on the front steps of the Lauderdale County Courthouse.

Meridian Mayor Percy Bland told WTOK that the MPD doesn’t influence.

“We have been assured that the notice in no way affects the facility currently utilized by the Meridian Police Department, but rather an adjacent property owned by Mr. Watkins, and does not alter any law enforcement operations,” Bland said.
