A former Caledonia Park Commission employee is accused of stealing taxpayer dollars.
Agents with the Mississippi Office of the State Auditor took Megan Berry, the commission’s former treasurer, into custody on Monday. She is accused of pocketing an undisclosed amount of public money for her personal use while operating as a city employee.
“We will continue to work with prosecutors on cases big and small to get results for the taxpayer. This is how we’ve recovered more money in the last six years than any other six-year period,” State Auditor Shad White said. “Thank you to our investigators who helped uncover this scheme.”
Berry is charged with one count of embezzlement. She faces up to $25,000 in fines and 10 years if convicted.
