CALEDONIA, Miss. (WJTV) – The former Caledonia Park Commission (CPC) treasurer has been charged with one count of embezzlement.

Agents with the State Auditor’s Office arrested Megan Berry. According to State Auditor Shad White, Berry took public funds that came into her possession by virtue of her employment with the CPC and pocketed the money for her own personal use.

“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,” said White. “Thank you to our investigators who helped uncover this scheme.”

Berry faces up to $25,000 in fines and 10 years if convicted.
