Brother Dawn issued the following statement.
Today State Auditor Shad White announced that Special Agents from his office have arrested Nancy Anglada, former Jackson County Inventory Control Director, for allegedly submitting fraudulent training reimbursements and unauthorized use of a Fuelman card for her own personal vehicle.
“We will continue to have a zero-tolerance policy for theft of taxpayer dollars,” said State Auditor Shad White. “Our office will continue to work with prosecutors to get record results for taxpayers.”
Anglada allegedly used a county-owned Fuelman card to fill up her personal vehicle on numerous occasions. Anglada also allegedly obtained training reimbursements from Jackson County by falsely claiming she paid for the training.
Anglada faces up to $5,000 in fines and 20 years in prison. All persons arrested by the Mississippi Office of the State Auditor are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Suspected fraud can be reported to the Auditor’s office at any time by clicking the red button atwww.osa.ms.gov or calling 1-(800) 321-1275 during normal business hours.

Do any of them get jail time?
Small fruit, low hanging fish
Still can't understand how shad missed on the MDHS scandal??? But somehow loves to promote these petty thefts as if he's keeping us all safe.
"Low hanging fruit" comments in 3, 2, 1.
Whenever I decide to start my life of crime, I’m going for a number somewhat higher than Mrs. Anglada’s $2,700.
In my next life, I want to come back as a Inventory Control Director,
Awesome. Arrest all of them who steal. It doesn't matter how big or small.
Shout out to Deputy Phil and Sister R who could be down with this!
Oh yeah, every two-bit crook in the state. But when it comes to the big ones like the guy who appointed him...not so much.
strange thing that hinds county hasn't had a mugshot yet
All you 'low hanging fruit' commenters. Think about all the others in similar positions, and using these gas cards. Don't you think news like this helps dampen temptation? What if the auditor just skipped on going after 'low hanging fruit?' How many more would be emboldened by that to steal from us taxpayers?
They should have just garnered her wages to make her pay it back and fired her
Don’t forget that Canton councilman who sold non existent “TORNADO” policies to the city. Does anyone know what happened to him?
this bust will not propel Shag into the Governors office. I'll take The Hat!
Please do us a favor. Next time you arrest her, please allow her to put on her makeup before being photographed.
Agree. Shad seems to have Hind County blindness or they simply have no theft for him to discover.
I know which one I would place my bet on.
It's only a deterrent if the potential perp can read.
All you 'major targets' commenters. Think about all the others in similar positions, on both sides of all these hundreds of millions of contracts, grants and subsidies. Don't you think news like this helps dampen temptation? What if the auditor just skipped on going after 'major targets?' How many more would be emboldened by that to steal from us taxpayers?
Uhhhh
@12:40pm, or Rankin County. Evidence exists that the sheriff pays deputies and uses inmates to work on family property. Shad proves he is like all other politicians, Republican politicians in Rankin County and he won’t go investigate there for fear he won’t be re-elected or elected to higher office. Remember that when he asks for your vote in a few months.
Every time these are posted it hurts Shad more due to the fact that most of us know there are bigger crooks that he will not touch. Certainly not helping him any even though we all know that any theft should be dealt with. It is costing us more to deal with the petty crimes than is recovered for the State.
I'm going to sleep easier tonight knowing this woman is unemployable thanks to her conviction. Make these folks pay restitution with interest and move on.
Kingfish won't handle this assignment (takes work), but would be nice to know the number, if any, of the Auditor's arrests that have (over his time in office) resulted in convictions and jail time.
Maybe if it were related to Jackson Water....
Who investigates the auditor's office?
