State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.
Today State Auditor Shad White announced that Brandon Williams and Miranda Truelove have both pleaded guilty to one count each of Conspiracy to Defraud the Government. Williams made numerous phone calls to Truelove, his wife at the time, requesting she help him apply for unemployment benefits while he was incarcerated. Williams received the benefits via a Way2Go debit card, which Truelove used on numerous occasions. “Our team at the State Auditor’s office uses the latest technology and investigative techniques to get record results for taxpayers,” said State Auditor Shad White. “Thank you to my team of investigators and to the prosecutors for bringing this case to a close.” Williams and Truelove were both prosecuted in the Lee County Circuit Court. They both were sentenced to five years of house arrest, post-release supervision and ordered to pay a total of $7,329.60 in restitution. Suspected fraud can be reported to the Auditor’s office at any time by clicking the red button on the Auditor’s website or by calling 1-(800)-321-1275 during normal business hours.

The dude looks like Heisenberg. Is he in for meth?
"Low hanging fruit" comments in 3, 2, 1...
Two thumbs up for an auditor who can recognize a conspiracy to defraud the government and prosecutes it!
Cute couple indeed.
But I have a feeling the Dept.of Employment Security investigators did all of the "leg work" ... and turned their evidence over to the State Auditor for prosecution.
Then, Lil' Shadrack takes all of the credit.
I hope he’s a future governor! I’m a republican but the previous governor should be in jail
Shadrack does a good job of getting the taxpayer's money back from the fraudsters!
His motto should be "All the fruit gets squeezed!"
When hillbilly is cleared by shad, I’ll be happy. Until then, Brett and Phil Billy are breathing free air. Cmon shadman
It isn't low-hanging fruit anymore. This is Shad's ceiling.
@9:31for the win.
Shad for Washington, DC !!! They need him badly in the nation's capital where he can ply his trade and perpetually self-promote. Let's rally behind this idea and encourage him to make DC his permanent home !!!!
This spectre of fraud seems to be overwhelming in current society.
If we go after it, no matter size, we may survive. Great work Shadster.
The little fish could achieve greatly in the new Department of Redundancy Department, or DOGE as it’s sometimes called.
If Shad arrests a fraudster in the forest, does it make a sound?
7:27 for the win. However, if Chad wants to be governor, he needs to cause some heartburn in Hinds County.
What about Brett Farve?
This is remarkable, the state has an opportunity to recover just a little bit under $6000.00. Who ever said Mississippi doesn’t know how to procecute .
. This represents about a quarter for every person living in the state.
You must not do math the way I do.
$7329.60 divided by 2,967,000 people in Mississippi (ref the 2020 Census) = $0.00247 per person. Roughly 1/4 of a penny per person.
LET'S HAVE ANOTHER PRESS RELEASE!
