Hinds County Director of Administration Stephen Hopkins was arrested today. A Hinds County grand jury indicted him in October for embezzlement. Hopkins got into an auto accident this morning in Ridgeland. The police discovered there was an active arrest warrant on the gentleman as the capias had not been served.
Hinds County deputies arrested Hopkins and took him into custody. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

How in the world does a person in a public job - at an "Administrator" level - not get arrested immediately after an arrest warrant is issued for them? Not like he was hard to find on his own LinkIn page and the county website.
This thing called Hinds County-
Kenny Wayne sould be in jail over Canton Utilities, in my vew.
156, true. But besides 158's thought, whoever issued the warrant should be shamed as much as, or more so, than Hinds County.
To restate - how in the world does an entity issuing a warrant not do something to try to arrest the individual when they are so easily found?
Did they even TRY to locate him for the arrest warrant.
Good lord. How humiliating for law enforcement.
1:56, you noticed the arrest was by a Madison County LEO. Chances are no one in Hinds Co. gov't cares to check on these things if it means firing one of their own.
@2:28 Why waste the man hours to arrest someone on a non-violent misdemeanor when you know they will be immediately released? Non-violent misdemeanors do not go to jail in Hinds County. He would be arrested, booked, and released with a summons to come to court.
From the Mississippi Rules of Criminal Procedure:
Execution of Arrest Warrant, Return.
(1) By Whom. The arrest warrant shall be directed to and may be executed by any officer authorized by law within the State of Mississippi.
There are a whole lot of Barneys out there not doing their jobs, especially the ones hanging around the courthouses and LEO offices not doing anything.
Knucklehead, indictment means felony.
@2:36 PM - Indictment = FELONY!
Blessings in 5, 4, 3, 2... along with an apology from the bench.
Look hinds takes time to arrest or notify people of indictments
Sad but true, unlike other counties
Don't confuse them with the facts, Kingfish, they were on a roll.
When I saw this headline,
I honestly thought David L. would be the subject.
Wait, are you saying he is the current director or administration and has an embezzlement charge pending?
The Sheriff knew about a warrant for Polo but not for the Director of Administration. Go figure…..
In the least the sheriff could've served him the indictment thru inner-office memo or just emailed it to him. I would suspect the warrants division serving indictments has their hands full with the violent ones and these non-violent felonies aren't high priority
Are you serious? How can he be hired with a warrant out on him? Let me guess, he was hired by a pal or buddy!! Hinds County sucks period!!
I know this guy from school. “Hypocrite” always call other people crooks when he is the ring leader!!!!! Sad!!!!!!
Was he in his county issued $100,000 jacked up F150? I cannot understand how she had white has not descended on Hinds county and busted everyone a sorry son of a bitches for stealing federal money. And the HAVE done just that !!!
Stepen Hopkins is Kenny Wayne Jones assistant, they are frat Brothers and they both are corrupted. Hopkins talk crazy to elected officials and treat women in Hinds County like they not humans. Credell Calhoun and Kenny Wayne has been trying to take the bank account from Eddie Jean Carr, and has now hired a firm out of Florida to take over payroll. Hinds County needs to clean house, and Marshand needs to be asked, why wasn't Stephen Hopkins served in indictment. Kenny Wayne is riding around in a 80k Hemi Truck on tax payers back. Stephen had an accident in Madison County in a Hinds County vehicle. Nothing will be done, cause Kenny Wayne knows Hopkins knows about the Brown bag.
Wait, how is the clown working for the county when he has an arrest warrant?
Calling Jackson/Hinds County a third world country is an insult to third world countries.
If 7:16 isn’t Kelsey on the Archie dole, my name ain’t Shad White.
*Hinds County Director of Administration*
The position, created by the Mississippi Legislature, exists in 82 counties. The proper title is County Administrator.
The media is reporting that the arrest warrant was for embezzling at a credit union. Kenny Wayne stated that the the warrant did not show up in a background investigation. LOL.
"Is he eligible for rehire?"
"No."
"Why?"
"We can't say - personnel matter." Ding, ding, ding.
Kenny Wayne, is your boy suspended? Does he have access to county funds? Who is paying to repair the county car? After wrecking one car did y'all give him another one?
3:08 AM, that's pretty late at night to be posting about Hinds County. Regardless, Kenny Wayne is the "County Administrator" and this guy reports to him as the Director of Administration.
More have happened under Credell Calhoun leadership then in the history of Hinds County. I'm wondering will there be any more indictments out of Hinds County. Credell's nephew Leroy Lee and Kenny Wayne Jones are the county's lunatics.
