Attorney General Jim Hood issued the following press release:
Madison Resident Faces Charge for Felony False Pretense
JACKSON— Attorney General Jim Hood announced today that a Madison man has been arrested for one count of false pretense.
Samuel L. James, 48, was arrested Wednesday. He was booked into the Madison County Jail with a bond set at $5,000 and a trial date set for June 5, 2017.
James
was indicted for false pretense by a Madison County grand jury on Nov.
10. James is accused of unlawfully obtaining more than $500 from a Hinds
County resident. James, an insurance agent,
allegedly accepted premiums for homeowners’ insurance from the Hinds
County resident but did not use the money he received for the insurance.
The
maximum sentence for false pretense is 10 years in prison and a fine of
$10,000. As with all cases, a charge is merely an accusation, and the
defendant is presumed innocent until and unless
proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Wasn't there also an insurance agent in Madison County who was recently receiving premiums of some sort from the County but not forwarding them into the system that ensured the county? Madison County seems to be a cesspool of white collar crime. What's the deal.
