Mississippi brother, sister arrested for unemployment scam
SUMMARY: Thaddieus Cooper and his sister Arista Garner were arrested in Mississippi for an unemployment benefits scam. State Auditor Shad White announced their capture for conspiring to defraud the state. Cooper allegedly had Garner submit an unemployment application on his behalf while he was incarcerated. He received benefits through a debit card, which Garner used for personal expenses. Both face up to five years in prison and $1,000 in fines if convicted. This arrest highlights ongoing efforts to combat unemployment fraud in the state, as emphasized by White’s remarks on the investigation team’s dedication.

SUMMARY: A mistrial was declared in the case of Gregory and Brandon Case, accused of shooting at Black FedEx driver D’Monterrio Gibson in Brookhaven, after it was revealed that an investigator withheld key evidence. The Cases face charges of attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy, and shooting into Gibson’s vehicle. A new trial has been scheduled for spring 2025. The incident occurred in January 2022, with no injuries to Gibson, but multiple bullet holes found in his delivery van.

SUMMARY: Mississippi Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann has recognized 175 schools and 12 districts with the “Lt. Governor’s Attendance Award” for maintaining chronic absenteeism rates of 15% or less during the 2023-24 academic year. Chronic absenteeism, defined as missing over 18 days, has risen to 24.4% in Mississippi, significantly higher than in 2018-19. Hosemann aims for all schools to reduce absenteeism to pre-pandemic levels and plans to introduce legislation focused on this issue, including measures like localizing attendance officers and modifying school calendars. The goal is to encourage improved attendance across the state.
