A weekend raid on a Hattiesburg grocery store results in more than 60 arrests.

Police raided Hiatt’s Discount Grocery just before noon Sunday. Police said more than $50,000 in cash and a handgun were seized.

Police say 20 of those arrested were released, while 40 others got citations to appear in court and went home. Four individuals were jailed and bonded out later.

Store owner Paul Hiatt, who was arrested and released on bond, says police only took $13,000 from his store and the gun was registered. He expects to get the gun back. Hiatt also said there were only 35 people at his store gambling, not the 60 the police found.

Those charged with misdemeanor gambling will appear in city court.
