State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.
Today State Auditor Shad White announced former Meridian Police Officer Tenesia Evans, who is guilty of Conspiracy to Defraud the Government, has been sentenced. Evans was indicted in January 2021 and pled guilty in October 2022.
Evans previously pled guilty to falsifying her time sheets with the Meridian Police Department, claiming to be on duty. Evans also pled guilty to working as a School Resource Officer (SRO) and as a Meridian Police Officer at the same time from August 2016 to August 2018. Evans was served with a $17,278.38 demand letter at the time of her arrest.
“Thank you to the US Attorney’s Office for their dedicated work to bring this case to a close,” said Auditor White. “No matter the amount, my office will continue to work with prosecutors to hold those who steal your tax dollars accountable.”
The felony conviction was prosecuted by the US Attorney’s Office of the Southern District. Judge Carlton Reeves of the US District Court sentenced Evans to time previously served, and three years of probation.
A $50,000 insurance policy covers Evans’s employment as a Meridian Police Officer. The insurance is designed to protect taxpayers from employee dishonesty. Evans will remain liable for the full amount of the demand in addition to criminal proceedings.
Suspected fraud can be reported to the Auditor’s office online at any time by clicking the red button at www.osa.ms.gov or calling 1-(800)-321-1275 during normal business hours.

More "free stuff." I see a pattern here.
OK!!! Now let's hear from all you Shad-haters.
How bout Shad get the Rankin Sheriff?? Damn , just read the new story.
Another minnow. Where are the big fish?¹
"time previously served"
that's nice.
Little Shad demand letter is 70 Shad fee.
Shad only fishes in small ponds for small fish so as not to rattle any political cages.
@9:35?
Is there another new RCSO story? kingfish likes to drag his feet for some reason. I guess I need to go back to checking WLBT every day!
@10:53 - only things I’ve seen recently are where he illegally subpoenaed the phone records of the woman he was having an affair with to stalk her. He’s also been in the news for trying to claim qualified immunity from the civil suit for the torture and rape his officers committed and it came out that Rankin County gave him a big raise after the torture and rape incident. He actually makes more than state law allows. Clearly Rankin is very happy with him and his officers.
Meridian PD has been a known corrupt department in law enforcement circles for years. Not surprising.
Hate is a strong word. I dislike Shad.
This woman probably did the best she could remembering what to put on her timesheet. And she was working two jobs to take care of her family. She was putting her life on the line and trying to make a living. Way to back the Blue, Shad.
Likely a $1000 time discrepancy. She didn't rob a bank. Shad probably tacked on $16,000 in investigation fees and 18% interest. He doesn't disclose a breakdown. Not dischargeable in bankruptcy. $17,000 is nearly half what a Meridian police officer makes in a year.
Shad White: destroying lives to be your next Governor.
October 13, 2023 at 11:35 AM, so, you're telling me she's Robin Hood?
What about Kenny Wayne Jones???
Shad needs to review his files on the Leflore County supervisors. He appears to be letting them pass on his demand for repayment of funds he deemed to have been illegally distributed. Way more money involved that this pocket change he just picked up.
Maybe she was overemployed?
Her co-defendant went to trial and got acquitted on all 17 counts.
11:35, so I guess the Biden DOJ shouldn’t have prosecuted the poor woman. Shad doesn’t prosecute people. That is job of the DOJ, if it is a federal crime. Perhaps you need to take up the complaint with Attorney General Garland.
She is a lightweight compared to her cousins in Broward County, FL. https://youtu.be/FIGSGJD-6vA
She and others may very well be guilty of their crimes, and they need to be dealt with. What I find interesting is that Shad has figured out which "small fry" employees have insurance & bonds covering their positions and it seems an overwhelming majority of his convictions are from people in public positions that have these funds available to acquire. And typically their debts owed are under that amount. It seems he has figured out a way to mine this for his and the state's benefit knowing good and well the employees don't have the funds to repay the "stolen" amount plus admin and investigation costs + interest, but the insurance companies do. Look into it, if it's not a pattern, it's a damn close coincidence.
What's amusing is that Kingfish takes Shad's advertising dollars (see far right column) and then culls all the comments in favor of what he's doing.
If you had toned down the name calling, it would have been approved. That is the part readers don't see.
@kingfish - thanks for the censoring. We need a good safe place so our pure conservative hearts aren’t dirtied with impure thoughts.
Shad is racking up the cases.
As long has Shad gives Phil Bryant a free pass, I'm good with all Shad's work.

"As long has Shad gives Phil Bryant a free pass, I'm good with all Shad's work."
Missippians gon Mississippi. Dirt dumb rednecks all the way to the top.
I don't know how you determine the intelligence of dirt, but I'm pretty sure dirt is doing what it was made to do, how about you?
Hayseed stupid rednecks all the way to the top. Better for ya?
Co-signing Phil Bryant's corrupt ass isn't a very good look. ONLY in Mississippi would that happen with the mindless sheep that live there.
Steven Pickett should step up and unseat him in the next election.
Are there specialized instruments used to determine if a hayseed is considered to be in a stupor, or not? As far as I know, the programming on a hayseed is pretty narrow, produce hay.
