Alcorn State University Police Chief A.J. Carpenter makes one of his last cruises through campus Friday. After 37 years on the job, Carpenter is hanging up the gun that — fortunately, he says — has never been needed. “I can’t recall where we’ve ever had any real crime,” Carpenter says. Most of his work involved college pranks and an occasional fight.
