Mannequin theives nabbed

HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Two men are charged with commercial burglary for stealing a mannequin and the Budweiser shorts it was wearing.

Hattiesburg police tracked down Jeremy Carothers and Josh Ashleyon on Friday.

Police say they broke a window at JMH Graphics and snatched the brown mannequin.

Police say they solved the crime when they went to Carothers' home and noticed the mannequin, minus its head, inside a truck parked there.

A police spokesman said the mannequin's clothing was found inside the home.

Carothers, a 22-year-old Hattiesburg man, and Ashley, a 24-year-old Wesson man, were both arrested and charged with commercial burglary.
