State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.
State Auditor Shad White announced that Sharccara McNair, a former Hattiesburg business owner, has pleaded guilty to one count of Fraud in Connection with a State-Funded Benefit Program.
McNair submitted fraudulent certifications to the Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES) so she could receive unemployment benefits while employed as a tax preparer.
“Thank you to the staff of the Department of Employment Security for alerting us to this scheme and to the investigators and prosecutors for helping bring this case to a close,” said State Auditor Shad White
McNair was prosecuted in the 12th District Circuit Court. She was sentenced to three years in the custody of MDOC, suspended, with one year of unsupervised probation, and has been ordered to pay $15,604 in restitution, $1,000 in fines, and $200 to the victims’ compensation fund.
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.

Keep it up Shad. The amount of corruption - local, County,State, Fed- is astounding in this country. Doge can save multiple billions $ with assistance from folks like Shadster.
maybe he can write about it in his next book. "I was in Hattiesburg and all I came away with was this low hanging fruit". Prelude & Introduction by Phil Bryant and Brett Farve.
What a joke. No jail, no probation, which is why she be smilin'.
Thank you little fish. You’ve a long way to go to replace that $2M you misappropriated. And you should put all the repaid money into education or something more productive than your office
I bet there's 10,000 just like her all over MS.
@3:02 pm, it’s more than the ex-Pearl police chief and ex-mayor of Richland got for scamming the taxpayers out of much more than 15K., after the Shadsters thorough investigation it was given to the Attorney General’s office to die. So these two got to keep the money. Ex-chief Scott landed a cushy do nothing job with the Capitol police. Just know the the auditor is selective in his prosecutions.
Yet, Phil Bryant and Brett Farve walk free, still!
6.36.....yep, Dean Scott was hired by Tindell with CPD and is making close to six figures. Imagine that!
@6:36 "Just know the the auditor is selective in his prosecutions."
This is the problem with Shad. There are plenty of real cases he could go after but chooses to swim in the shallow end of the pool.
$1000 in fines. I wouldn't be bragging on that one Shad.
6:36, your contradictory post indicated Shad did his job and the AG was the one who dropped the ball, but then you say Shad is the one being selective? I’m confused…
move your decimal point way to the right.
@8:08 am, because Shad’s special agents normally make the arrest and get the mugshot. This case was handled as the normal procedure. With ole Dean’s case, no arrest was made, the case was given to the Rankin County DA who cowardly handed the case off to Lynn Fitch for the sole purpose of making it go away. Remember this a election time when these three brag about how tough they are on crime and ask for your vote.
You top-water bait-casters, bitching about low-hanging fruit and little fish...How much is enough? How much UI money should be stolen before action is taken to set examples.
I believe Mississippi led the nation during Covid with stolen UI payments.
All these fat girls out there running shady tax-prep businesses and weave salons (with their husbands at Parchman) need to be put under the jail.
I looked up her Facebook profile, and it seems she is still in the tax prep business. 🙄
