Jackson Police have cast a wide net for Adarrius Stasher. Stasher who also goes by the nickname of "Smurf" is wanted for a violent crime. Jackson police says on September 11, Stasher assaulted a Jackson resident. The victim was beaten with an unknown object and was left seriously injured.
Police say this MOST WANTED suspect's last known addressed was Cedarhurst Drive in Jackson. If you know where he is call the Jackson Police Department immediately at 601-960-1278.
Meanwhile, three accused shoplifters profiled last Wednesday have been arrested. We showed you the surveillance video and these most wanted suspects got wind of it. It's video that a lot of folks hit on. The three ladies were casually dressed in shorts and casually on a mission to steal, according to Jackson cops. Two unidentified black females and a white woman followed each other around in the store September 2 shortly after noon.
One by one they un stocked store shelves, piling up stolen merchandise in their yellow baskets. Then the women unloaded the baskets and filled up white trash cans. Within minutes the trio walks right out of the store weighted down with stolen goods. All three are busted after turning themselves into Jackson police.
