No Honor in Dishonor

 State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement. 

Today State Auditor Shad White announced that Robin Lowe, former Itawamba Community College Honor Society Advisor, has pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement.

Lowe was an advisor to the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) honor roll society chapter. She converted funds meant to benefit the PTK chapter for her own personal use.

“My team will continue working hand-in-hand with prosecutors to deliver for taxpayers,” said State Auditor Shad White. “This is how we’ve managed to recover more money over the last six years than any other six-year period in the history of the Auditor’s office.”



Lowe was prosecuted in the Itawamba County Circuit Court. Lowe was sentenced to 20 years in prison with 19 years suspended, one year of Intensive Supervision Program (ISP), and $1,511.50 in fines.

Suspected fraud can be reported to the Auditor’s office at any time by clicking the red button at www.osa.ms.gov or calling 1-(800)-321-1275 during normal business hours.

"Lowe was sentenced to 20 years in prison with 19 years suspended, one year of Intensive Supervision Program (ISP), and $1,511.50 in fines."

That is a bigger blessing than Judge Tommie Green gives.

The Count said...

So, how much did she embezzle?

Her step-dad is on the board for Itawamba Community College

Sentenced to 20 years with just a $1000+ fine? (yes, 19 suspended but still) Something is out of whack here. How much could she embezzle from Phi Theta Kappa?

Ben in the Jack said...

Nevermind, she managed to steal over $36k somehow. Makes more sense now.

Yet Phil Bryant and Farve walk free.

She is very qualified to be the mayor of Jackson or on the Jackson City Council.

No restitution?

@2:16 And so do Jackson water people who straight piped for years

Embezzlement is a middle aged women's disease? A book exposing their various motives might be a good campaign fundraiser for Shad.

THIS HERE IS A BIG FISH!

A real catch!

That should shut up all the 'low hanging fruit" whining!

Krusatyr said...

Accusers of Phil Bryant and Bret Favre need to back off until there is evidence to support their suspicions. BTW Brett Favre did not know funds came from TANF and he repaid it anyway. Can't speak for Bryant but the Feds can get him if they have a case.

You got that right Krusty!

Didn't Shad himself say that Phil was the secret double naught whistleblower?

If Phil really is the secret double naught whistle blower like Shad said, then Jethro would have be proud to be an honorary member on their auditing and crook catching team!

Even if it's not a secret anymore Phil's probably still a double naught whistleblower, and probably has full dimmunity, just like Bart.

Also has there ever been a successful prosecution of an honest double naught whistleblower? Probably not in the 'Sip and not in Alabama nor Louisiana neither!

This is a typical sentence for the 1st Circuit Court District. She stole over $36K and they just sent her home for the holidays! Unreal!

I agree

I don’t remember the exact quotes, but Farve texting, can this money be traced, and Bryant texting, I’m to old for prison, is so obvious Stevie Wonder could see it with his back turned.

Krusty- have you seen Brett's emails that Shad has produced for everyone to read?

Anonymous said...

Shad didn’t produce all of them. And what Shad did produce, he withheld for over 2 years. Even then, he cherry picked what he disclosed.

Read Phil Bryant’s texts. Then read the definition of embezzlement. You make the call.

Read Phil Bryant’s texts. Then read the definition of squeaky clean law and order Republican former Deputy Sheruf. You make the call.

Yikes. She got a harsher sentence than what Green and Wooten have given murderers in Hinds County. We need that judge to come down here for a few years!

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease.
