Senatobia mother says two teen daughters wrongfully arrested by police
SUMMARY: A Senatobia mother is seeking justice after her two daughters were wrongly arrested and sent to a juvenile facility in Corinth following a disturbance at a public housing project while police were collecting evidence from a shooting scene. The mother claims the girls were assaulted by police, and one of them may have been injured during the incident. The girls were released to their mother after a court hearing but are essentially on house arrest. Police stated that a large crowd caused a disturbance and several people, including the girls, were taken into custody for not complying.

SUMMARY: Mississippi State's spring semester has ended, with seniors graduating and many students moving home for the summer. This seasonal migration causes a dip in local businesses' foot traffic. Brikley Spencer from Maroon and Co. noted that they offer promotions to attract customers. Bart Wood of Little Dooey mentioned that while there's a slowdown, recent developments like Cornerstone Park tournaments and MSU camps keep Starkville active. Both businesses largely employ college students, but the summer schedule balances staffing needs. Despite past challenges, Wood says conditions have improved, and they adapt annually, considering even shortening hours during slower periods.
