A Pearl River County ranch employee has turned himself in to authorities for fraudulently receiving money intended for his employer.
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). Mark Deon Inman, Jr., who worked at the location, faces charges for selling the ranch’s livestock while pretending to operate on its behalf but keeping the proceeds from those sales for himself.
“This is an ongoing investigation, with more charges expected,” MALTB Director Dean Barnard said. “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.”
