A McCool resident was arrested last week in Columbus after allegedly falsifying documents for a local pizza company.
Anthony Reagan Malone, 23, was charged with felony embezzlement. According to a Columbus Police Department press release, Malone created false documents for fraudulent payments. The press release did not say what company Malone worked for.
Mississippi law states that any amount over $1,000 in such cases is considered a felony amount, the press release said.
Malone was released from the Lowndes County Adult Detention Center on $10,000 bond.
