Goon Squad still to be sentenced on state charges
SUMMARY: A civil rights lawsuit has been filed against 6 former officers and the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office for their roles in the brutal attacks and torture of Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker. Activist Malik Shabazz has called for Sheriff Brian Bailey to be held accountable for the actions of his deputies. The defense attorney for one of the officers admitted that the officers adapted to the culture of the department, suggesting a pattern of excessive force. The Sheriff’s Department has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, and the case is awaiting a judge’s ruling. Despite their federal sentences, the former officers are expected to be sentenced on the state level next month. Sheriff Brian Bailey has not yet commented on the situation.

Nick's Friday PM Forecast 11/1
SUMMARY: Happy Friday, Pine Belt! November is here, and I hope you enjoyed Halloween—I certainly did with some candy. Recently, we received half an inch of rain after a three-week dry spell, with lingering showers in areas like Pike County. However, expect mostly cloudy skies with just a few sprinkles, so enjoy Friday Night Lights without worry. The tropics are also changing as hurricane season wraps up, with low pressure expected but unlikely to impact South Mississippi. Remember to prepare for earlier sunsets at 5 PM, but we should stay warm despite the shorter days. Enjoy your weekend!

Sawmill Square in Laurel expected to welcome Hobby Lobby store
SUMMARY: Hobby Lobby is set to open at The Sawmill Square Mall in Laurel, taking over the former JC Penney location. This development is seen as a significant boost for both the mall and Laurel’s economy, as city leaders hope it revitalizes the area. The presence of Hobby Lobby is anticipated to attract more tenants and encourage shoppers to stay local, reducing the need for residents to travel to neighboring markets like Hattiesburg. With plans to enhance existing businesses, Mayor Johnny McGee is optimistic that the mall can regain its vitality. The store is expected to open in early 2025.
