Alcorn County Supervisor Faces 600 years in Prison

Per WTVA:

  • An Alcorn County supervisor is back in jail on grand larceny charges, according to the Corinth Police Department.

    Chief Ralph Dance said District Two Supervisor Jimmy "Dal" Nelms, 47, turned himself into police Thursday afternoon after a week-long investigation.
But this isn't the first time for Nelms:

  • In December, he was arrested and charged with 156 counts of embezzlement and forgery. 
  • State Auditor Stacey Pickering said Nelms is accused of creating a scheme to collect payments from county vendors in exchange for getting county business.
  • He is also accused of billing the county for work that was never performed and rental equipment that was never actually rented.
  • Pickering has issued a demand for Nelms to repay over $300,000 to the county, and he faces 600 years in prison if convicted.
