Poplar Bluff Police arrested two men after a home invasion Thursday night.

Poplar Bluff Police Chief Danny Whiteley says it happened Thursday at 8:28 p.m. in the 900 block of Maud St.

Whiteley says Eddie Holmes and Davion Thompson, both of Poplar Bluff, knocked on the door of the home, and when the owner answered, they pointed a pistol at them and forced their way inside.

He says they took at TV, Xbox360, and some cash.

The victims, Mark Hicks, Jr., and Stacy Kemp, were able to identify the suspect's car as a white Chrysler Concord.

Poplar Bluff police officers found the car parked at a home in the 2000 block of Wood St. in Bluff.

They arrested the suspects inside and were able to recover some cash, but not the other stolen property.

Holmes confessed to a Poplar Bluff detective.

The two were taken to the Butler County Justice Center awaiting formal charges.

The future of the Fortis plastics plant in Poplar Bluff remains uncertain, while the company is closing another plant.

On Tuesday, Fortis employees told Heartland News they've been informed that their plant will close in three to six weeks.

Earlier Thursday, Heartland News spoke with a reporter in Fort Smith, Arkansas who says city leaders received a letter from Fortis notifying them the plastics plant there would shut down in early to mid-November.

Fortis officials still are not confirming the Fort Smith closure.

Butler County leaders say they have not received one of those letters.
