Former Bucks guard Damon Jones current Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billups are among those who were arrested.
2. A retail Giant is nearing final approval for a store in Franklin. Costco is looking to build a 162,000-square-foot building and gas station on the northwest corner of Drexel Avenue and 27th Street.
