SUMMARY: All Dirt Cheap stores are closing following the bankruptcy of their parent company, Channel Control Merchants, which filed for Chapter 11 on October 10. The chain, founded over 30 years ago in Hattiesburg, will shut down all 60 locations, including 29 in Mississippi. Customers are expressing heartbreak over the loss, as many relied on Dirt Cheap for affordable shopping, particularly for holiday gifts. The closing signs are posted prominently, marking the end of a significant discount retailer in the community. The local manager indicated that the Starkville store will close in December, with no updates yet on other affiliated stores.

SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department (JPD) has solved the two latest homicides, making three arrests within 24 hours, with a fourth pending. Police Chief Joseph Wade attributes the 80% solvability rate to a new focused approach that prioritizes witness statements, physical evidence, and technology. He emphasizes accountability for violent crimes, aided by new federal resources after Jackson was designated a public safety partnership city. While crime rates have declined, Wade stresses the importance of community involvement and judicial reform, advocating for stricter bail for violent offenders to bolster crime-fighting efforts.
