Family Dollar sued by Arkansas over its rat-infested warehouse
CBSN
Arkansas is suing Family Dollar over the discovery of more than 1,000 dead rodents in a distribution facility in the state that prompted the discount retail chain to recall items purchased from hundreds of stores in the South.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday by Attorney General Leslie Rutledge in state court, accuses the chain and parent company Dollar General of deceiving consumers, negligence and engaging in a conspiracy that allowed the infestation at the West Memphis facility to occur.
Family Dollar closed more than 400 stores in February after the dead rats were found at one of its distribution facilities. Details of the infestation were later disclosed in a 22-page U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspection report, such as problems ranging from "four rat carcasses on the conveyor belt" to rodent droppings "too numerous to count."

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
