Maurice Howard Guilty of Embezzlement
JACKSON, Miss. – State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement regarding court proceedings in Monroe County this morning:
“I am pleased this morning that Mr. Howard, who stole from the people of Aberdeen, has been removed from office and has pleaded guilty to a felony. When a politician takes public money for their own benefit and lies about it, it’s important to remember there are victims. The victims are the taxpayers and people of the city. I’m grateful for the work of the district attorney’s office and my investigators for bringing this case to a conclusion.”
