Madison County deputies busted an inside ring of thieves at the Nissan plant.
A security guard noticed employees were passing parts to outsiders at the plant's fence. The Madison County Sheriff got on the case and soon caught the thieves in the act. A chase ensued and the suspects were apprehended.
Deputies arrested Glenn White, Kendrick Ratliff, and Kelvish Nason and charged them with grand larceny as well as felony fleeing. Nason is a Canton Municipal Utilities Commissioner and a Nissan employee.
Sheriff Tucker said their heist included 50 catalytic converters.

Ol Kelvish looks so defiant. Like a man that has being doing dumb shit his whole life. Pathetic, but he thinks he’s pretty cool.
Arrested:
Rudy Warnock - Madison County engineer
Cleveland Anderson - CMU board member
Eric Gilkey - Canton Alderman and CMU employee
Andrew Grant - Canton Alderman and Madison County employee
Kelvish Nason- CMU board member
Is anybody seeing a pattern?
Especially put the Commish under the jail as well as the rest...but especially the "ELITE". He deserves a much harsher sentence than the rest. My guess is that HE was the ringleader of the operation. Ego does that to one. I bet the "Big Guy" got more than 10% here as the ringleader.
#1 requirement to be a CMU board member - must be a thief.
50 catalytic converters, at a grand a piece.
One was already being paid as a utilities commissioner and a Nissan employee, and that still wasn’t enough. This is a case for sending a strong message.
Well, he's a CMU Commissioner, so he must be an upstanding member of the community. (Sarcasm intended of course)
Unfortunately this goes to show he's simply a dishonest thief. And I can't help but wonder what illegal activity he's been engaging in in his position as a CMU Commissioner.
Kelvish…don’t be selvish….
Sounds like a Johnny cash song
Because CMU commissioners must take an oath of office, and a prayer precedes each meeting, he is obviously a very honest member there.
What happens to these criminals now?
I got it one piece at a time and it didn't cost me a dime …
Well, it's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
KF: please tell us WHO picked/nominated this guy to be a Commissioner?
It will be interesting to see what judge they get. Sheriffs Department arrests go to justice court first and theres one judge there that has the propensity to be lenient. Hope they dont get that one!
Nissan’s water rates are about to go up. They’ve had the commissioner arrested!
I'm going to say this one more time and that will be the end of these comments:
Hit that PERS account for all prosecutorial and restitution costs after conviction of a crime and this will stop.
Wait, no mention of Kenny Wayne Jones so far under this story. It’s gonna snow…..well it’s forecasted for Thursday night already.
Will the IRS bring a complaint against the Honorable Kelvish for failure to report income?
(My assumption is that Kelvish did not report income from the sale of the converters).
Funny we now see something MCSO has done because of election year.
Catalytic converters get around $300 on the black market for domestics. For exotics, it is much higher.
8:52 - Hopefully that's the last time you'll say it.
Fact remains - city, county nor justice court has any authority to attach your bank account, you mortgage or your retirement funds. The IRS can do that, but not justice court. If YOU are found guilty of a crime, do you think the court can confiscate your future retirement funds? I'm going to say this one more time...Get a clue!
Not to mention the fact that an appointed commissioner is not within the PERS system.
Here is the problem. You have to know that every tiny part in that building is inventoried. There has to be a security system watching all of it. This not a sustainable scam. My guess would be when they built 500 cars but used 550 cats someone would be aware.
He was just practicing the art of Kaisan with "regular incremental improvements."
Was it radar on MASH that mailed an army jeep home, one part at a time?
8:01 for the win!!!
According to the 2020 Census, Canton has approximately 11,000 people. So when the mayor and board of aldermen are looking for just 5 people to serve on the CMU board, they pick people the quality of Cleveland Anderson and Kelvish Nason. They have 11,000 people to choose from (they will deduct any minors from that number obviously), and they only need 5 qualified people. They ignore business people in the city who are intelligent and honest, and they somehow think a person like Kelvish Nason is the answer. And we wonder why we have problems in this country.
Wonder if he'll ask for and get city paid representation in court.
Best job the Nissan people ever had and they managed to fuck it up.....
Wonder if he is tied to the copper thefts from MDOT? That is taxpayer $$ & come out of my pocket and yours? May not be connected but it does give me pause to think!
"Was it radar on MASH that mailed an army jeep home, one part at a time?" Yes it was. Great show.
Bennie T and celebrities might say if Nissan had a Union this would not happen, institutional racism. Wonder how much over the years this crew has stolen, maybe 100K+?
So, are they saying that the 50 catalytic converters were part of the "heist", just on the day these guys got caught? I have to wonder, for how long did this go on. And what is the Dollar total of what Kelvish and his associates are suspected of having stolen?
And I wonder how much of a deterrent this will be, to the location of other theft-vulnerable businesses to Madison County - and to Mississippi.
