State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.
State Auditor Shad White announced today that Dendrick Hurd, a former Mississippi Department of Correction (MDOC) probation officer, pled guilty to 4 counts of embezzlement. The case was prosecuted by District Attorney Lin Carter’s office in Judge Helfrich’s courtroom.
Hurd was arrested by Special Agents from the State Auditor’s office in December of 2021. Hurd abused his position as an MDOC probation/parole officer to embezzle money from people attempting to pay court-ordered fees and fines.
“In this case, the defendant did not think anyone was watching, and he was wrong. We will continue to fight against fraud in every case,” said Auditor White. “I am thankful to the investigators and prosecutors for their hard work.”
Dendrick Hurd is now convicted of a felony offense and will serve six years in prison and five years post-release supervision.

Why do this when you know all get caught. Must enjoy the idea of being Institutionalized.
Woe be to the unconnected in Mississippi....the "little" guy/girl is being persecuted while the aristocrats financially rape the citizens at will.
Stupid is as stupid does. Guess her didn’t read about this is the Bible. He will have time now!
There's so many ways to make money legally, why do people have to resort to illegal means to make a couple of thousand dollars and give up their voting and gun rights and getting bubba to go up the hershey highway for the next 6 years?
Zach New faces 5 years for stealing tens of million.
The MDOC guy gets 6 years for stealing $4,150.
Great justice system we have here.
3:54 Justice is Blind! This guy was just plain dumb. Inmates may do stupid stuff, but they know how to handle the money business. Surprise this fool didn’t get hurt by the inmates, messing with their parole!
Shad only plays the cupcake games he can win. Pick a real fight for once Shad.
116 354 and 807 said it all. The elites are getting richer while the commoners suffer. The Mississippi delegates do nothing for the constituents. We have to hold the elected 'elites' accountable.
Attn 6:56 We know we are the elite class, but we do enjoy hearing from you.
@7:49, you didn't sign your post, so we would know who to bow down to.
MDOC website shows he is only serving 4 years. Someone may want to call them.
