The Embezzlement Chronicles: A Band Mom Strikes Again

 Yet another band mom has gotten in trouble for alleged embezzlement.  

The Desoto County grand jury indicted Krystina Thompson on July 10 for embezzlement.  The indictment states: 

between the dates of the 18th day of June, in the year of our Lord, 2024, and the 3rd Day of March, in the year of our Lord, 2024, in the County and State aforesaid, and within the jurisdiction of this Court, at a time when she was an agent or servant of Southaven High School Band Boosters, embezzle, fraudulently secrete, conceal or convert to her own use approximately $39,161.94, the personal property of Southaven High School Band Boosters , which property had come or been entrusted to her care or possession by virtue of her office, place, and employment, either in mass or otherwise
 

The police report provides more information: 

 


An internal audit discovered the alleged embezzlement.  The Southaven High School Band Boosters are seeking donations to cover the loss as they are forced to operate on a shoestring budget.  That means no band camps, no band trips, and no out-of-state band competitions.  

Soooooooooie!


The case is similar to one involving the Brandon High School band.  Treasurer Donna Floyd embezzled $42,000 from the band booster club.  She pleaded guilty in 2024 and was sentenced to serve five years in prison with another fifteen years suspended.  She was released from prison after serving a quarter of her sentence.

“This one time, at band camp, I ate a tractor-trailer load of peanut M&Ms.”

A strange coincidence, but since Krystina’s apprehension, Snickers, Twinkies, and doughnuts are no longer mysteriously disappearing from the Southaven concession stand.

More Twinkies said...

She didn't spend it at Weight Watchers.

Mississippi is the center of the "Bible Belt?" Could have fooled me.

She is now qualified to run for county supervisor, Congress-critter, or senator.

She didn't spend it on meth, but it's tough to beat the Twinkie habit and stop eating 50 of them per day, chased down with 50 sodas.

Embarrassing for her children

A girl can have a pretty good time at a candy store with $39,161.94 to spend.

Her idea of sacrifice is instead of eating the box of six Twinkies, I'll eat five Twinkies.

The police report provides more information:

Almost more information that a person should want.

"Sense that time it was discovered that..."

"I have sense reviewed these financial documents..."

I used to be a detective and work a bunch of embezzlements. It always happened when someone had access to money and unverified trust. Those two together are a problem.

Looks like she just beat the final boss at Golden Corral.

I'm surprised to learn that her 'sister thief' in Brandon served only A QUARTER of a five year sentence. That's one year and three months if my math skills are functioning. What about all that stolen money?

It's also alarming to find out that these booster organizations must have zero controls in place when entrusting one person as caretaker for the money.

Before I would contribute a dime to cover the loss, I'd want to know what controls were in place, and, if none, what controls are NOW in place.

Meanwhile, Jeanine Pirro informs us that, because of DC's permissive legal structure, when all 12 thugs who attacked Big Balls, are finally in custody, she will not be able to do much to them. "They'll be taking Yoga, and doing Arts & Crafts."

The woman in this story, did a bit of pilfering from a trivial entity. Big Balls' attackers caused a severe concussion to one of the most useful brains in the fight to save Western Civilization. Severe concussions have life-altering consequences.

Band Mom got 5 years. The DC Thugs will get yoga.

Is she so fat she can't open her eyes?
Also, does she have a neck brace on?
Hope she can get some GLP-1 in prison.
I'm just a 67-year-old who works all day in this hot summer weather. I wish I had $39,000.00 to pay my bills.

5:45 - Surprised the Brandon mom only served a QUARTER of her sentence? You might want to query your worthless legislator (and they all are) about that, next time he runs on his tough-on-crime platform. Lots of criminals convicted of more serious crimes are quarter timers, too.

Typically, booster clubs have no more than one person handling the deposits, another doing the ordering and one doing the cooking (if running concessions). Sometimes it's only one. Everyone else is serving the food, etc.

It's very convenient for schools to turn activity management over to these clubs, because generally, the clubs keep their money outside the schools' coffers and therefore exempt from purchasing laws, and it's one less thing for the Principal to manage. That is great if everyone is honest; not to good of someone is a crook.

But, one rule of thumb....if someone wants to exclusively handle EVERYTHING with the money by themselves, you better be watching him/her.

This troll stole $2600.00 dollars a week for 15 weeks and no one monitored it? No sympathy on my end except for the kids.

Me too, and all checks should require a double signature and no credit cards.

I back the blue 100% - that won't ever change -

Backing the blue though doesn't mean you can't point out that the grammatical errors contained in that police report. Goodness gracious, great balls of fire!

It’s 27 miles from Southaven Ms to Robinsonville ms ( where Casinos are located) $40,000 in 14 months probably gone to one of the many Casinos in that area. Not I don’t know for sure this happened but I won’t rule it out. I just wish she would have called me so I could show her which machines to play! I only lost $100,000 the last 2 years however I’m a baller in Mississippi standards. I made my money working 2 and 3 legitimate jobs the last 50 years, I can afford to give my money to away!

Surely that's her driver license file photo, not a mug shot. There's no height chart behind her. I see a lot of those kind of photos released where the alleged perp is smiling broadly when they ought to be bawling in front of a height chart. Just saying...

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.
