State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.
Today, State Auditor Shad White announced that former Jones County Deputy Chancery Clerk, Christy Hodge, has pleaded guilty to three counts of Alteration of Records.
Between June 2025 and August 2025, Hodge altered and submitted bank statements to conceal $13,356.89 in public funds she converted for her personal use. The funds were later recovered and deposited into the appropriate county depository.
