JACKSON, Miss. – On Monday, August 26, 2024, Mark Deon Inman Jr. of Pearl River County turned himself into Pearl River County Jail, on two warrants for felony false pretense.
A multi-agency investigation began in 2021 when Windy Hills Beefmaster Ranch in Poplarville reported a livestock theft to the Mississippi Agriculture and Livestock Theft Bureau (MALTB). Inman, a former employee at Windy Hills Beefmaster Ranch, faces charges for selling the ranch’s livestock while pretending to operate on its behalf but keeping the proceeds from those sales for himself.
MALTB Director Dean Barnard says, “This is an ongoing investigation, with more charges expected. Thank you to the Mississippi Agriculture and Livestock Theft Bureau, Pearl River County Sheriff’s Department and the 15th Circuit District Attorney Hal Kittrell’s Office for all the time they have dedicated to this case.”
The Mississippi Agriculture and Livestock Theft Bureau, the law enforcement division of the Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, enforces state laws pertaining to the theft of cattle, horses, swine, poultry, fish, farm equipment, chemicals, timber and all other farm or agriculture-related crimes.
