Family Dollar Investigates After St. Louis-Area Stores Post Ban on Hoods

A national variety-store chain has started an internal investigation after learning that some St. Louis-area locations are asking customers not to wear hooded clothing. The request — outlined on signs that have been posted at some Family Dollar stores in the area — drew the attention of the St. Louis CBS affiliate KMOV, which reported that at least two criminal incidents have occurred at local stores in recent weeks.
