TUPELO – Police have made two arrests in the armed robbery of a local liquor store that happened in July.

Leonta Gates and Denarvis Ruff are charged with the July 26 armed robbery of a liquor store on South Gloster Street. Their bonds were set at $500,000 a piece. The two allegedly hit the clerk in the head with a bottle before taking an undisclosed amount of money from the store. Thanks to tips from the public, Tupelo Police Chief Tony Carleton said they were able to make the arrests.

“We considered these suspects dangerous and we needed help finding then and the public really turned out to help,” said Carleton. “Our detectives never stopped working the case and those two things are what led to these arrests.”

Police are looking for Talron Coleman, a third suspect possibly involved in the robbery.

Gates is also being charged with and auto burglary that happened on Ida Street in mid June, according to Carelton.

The courthouse lawn?

With all these highway viaducts around?

What better way to impress upon the riff raf and left side of the bell curve the futility of kicking against the pricks than bodies dangling from ropes on the Hwy 45 overpasses?

I think that we should go back to CHAIN GANGS if these criminals get arrested they should have to work! The county should have a big field with a garden that they work in to supply their own food and any other work that is needed in the county or city that should be free labor. Clean up trash, dig ditches or anything else that needs to be done. Make them work for what they have done. Just saying... that is how it was done in the old days!

@Mr.T, why would he be worried, he gets 3 hots and a cot, free medical treatment, free dental, free vision, and all the time he wants to lift weights. Hell, the ACLU will even pay for him to get a college degree if he wants one. His life from here on out will be better than it was before. No rent to pay, no job to show up for, and all the leisure time he could ever ask for. Heck fire, prison is the new resort status.

This is probably not his first run in with the CJ system, so he understands the game. And you know what, he just won.

If we would go back to hangings on the court house lawn it would probably rid us of the foolish acts of violence.
