Smith County couple arrested for knowingly selling faulty fire extinguishers
SUMMARY: A Mississippi couple, Daniel and Sherri Finnegan, has been arrested for installing faulty fire suppression systems in commercial kitchens, endangering lives. Operating as Finnegans Fire Safety Equipment in Pelahatchie, they reportedly sold untested systems and falsely claimed used fire extinguishers as new by repainting and replacing parts. The couple did not register their business, and their actions primarily affected daycares and other facilities. They face charges of false pretense and violations of the Mississippi Fire Prevention Code across at least 13 counties. Authorities are encouraging affected businesses to report their experiences for assistance in replacing the faulty equipment.

SUMMARY: The IRS announces special tax benefits for U.S. Armed Forces members and their families. Key benefits include tax-free combat pay, extensions for filing taxes for those in combat zones, and excludable Armed Forces dependency allotments. Low to moderate-income service members may qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which could be up to $7,830 for 2024. Additionally, active-duty members can deduct unreimbursed relocation expenses from military orders and permanent changes of station. The IRS aims to provide comprehensive support to simplify the tax filing process for military personnel. More information is available on their website.

SUMMARY: An investigation is ongoing following an officer-involved shooting in McComb that resulted in one death. Officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle near 212 25th Street, where two individuals exited the vehicle.

Law enforcement is searching for a 2016 Dodge Charger with Mississippi tag PJP357, last seen traveling west on Highway 98. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is handling the case, which will be reviewed by the attorney general’s office.
