Ollie’s has acquired more than 60 former Big Lots locations around the country, including 40 stores announced last week. The company has nearly 600 stores around the country, but none are in New Hampshire.

A 26-year-old woman, who owns a dog training and kennel facility in Brentwood, New Hampshire, has been arrested after a video surfaced online showing apparent animal cruelty in Methuen, Massachusetts.
Brentwood police notified the Methuen Police Department about the video on Jan. 2. A preliminary investigation then identified the woman in the video as Maddison Eastman.
Police obtained an arrest warrant for Eastman on two counts of animal cruelty, and she turned herself into Lawrence District Court last Wednesday.
Eastman was arraigned Friday. Information from her court appearance wasn’t immediately available, and officials haven’t released further details about what Eastman allegedly did.
Methuen police said they’ll have no further comment at this time and referred all inquiries to the Essex County District Attorney’s Office.
