Houston, MS--A Union County woman has been arrested for allegedly attempting to make money from a tragic situation, announced Attorney General Jim Hood today.
Posey |
Janet Posey, 39, of Blue Springs, was arrested last night at her home in Union County by investigators with the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division with assistance from the Union County Sheriff's Office. Posey is charged with one count attempted false pretense and one count communications fraud for allegedly setting up a scam to fundraise donations for the family of Jessica Lane Chambers, whose death is under investigation in Panola County.
"Family members and friends of the family brought their concerns about the site to our attention," said Attorney General Hood. "Because we will be prosecuting the case, we cannot discuss any details of our case at this time. I would like to thank Sheriff Jimmy Edwards for his assistance in this arrest."
Posey was booked into the Union County Detention Center. If convicted, she faces up to 15 years behind bars (10 for false pretense and five for communications fraud). As with all cases ,the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The case is being investigated by Richie McCluskey and Miller Faulk and will be prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Shaun Yurtkuran of the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.Kingfish note: This is not Ms. Posey's first brush with the law over scams. Check out these little lumps of coal found in a Google search:
*Warning about her scams back in 2006 on Tupelo forums. Comments contain many details.
*Baby scam on various websites.
She was apparently on probation for similar offenses if these claims are to be believed.

"Pillow" is a real shitbag for doing that.
she is so ugly she has to hang a raw pork chop around her neck so her dog will play with her.
maybe she didn't mean it
Devil's advocate here. It's only been a couple of weeks since the gangland slaying. How do we know what this woman intended to do with money she might have raised? You ain't necessarily guilty just cause you fat and ugly.
How do you spell psychopath?
5:25 Some people are not blessed with an attractive appearance, and mocking them for their uh, deficiencies, is cruel, unnecessary and decidedly un-Christian.
But in this scumbag ho's case I'll make an exception: she's so ugly she could make a train jump the track and take a dirt road.
Not cool.
The picture does her justice.
