WEST POINT, Miss. (WCBI) – A retired law enforcement officer is now a full-time artist.
DC Native and now West Point resident Diane Yeldell has decades of law enforcement under her belt, including contract work with the FBI and 20 years of service with the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department.
On Sunday, Yeldell had an open house at the Louise Campbell Art Museum for its new exhibit.
