JACKSON, Miss. — Former Coahoma County Deputy Coroner Markeith Mosley has pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement involving $19,289.01, State Auditor Shad White announced.
According to the State Auditor’s Office, Mosley fraudulently converted a Fuelman card belonging to Coahoma County for his personal use. The card came into his possession through his position as a county employee.
“Working hand-in-hand with prosecutors on cases like this is how we’ve managed to recover more money in the last seven years than any other seven-year period in the history of the Auditor’s Office,” White said in a statement.
Mosley was prosecuted in Coahoma County Circuit Court.
The State Auditor’s Office encourages the public to report suspected fraud at any time through the agency’s website or by calling 1-800-321-1275 during normal business hours.
