Embezzlement charge dropped against ex-realty employee
PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) – A 48-year-old woman accused in the embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars from a realty company she worked for is no longer facing prosecution.
A Jackson County grand jury had indicted Diane Lynn Williams, of Ocean Springs, on a charge of embezzlement last year.
The indictment said she took over $417,000, but it did not indicate from where the money was taken.
The Jackson County District Attorney’s Office later filed a motion to dismiss the charge because of a “defect in the indictment.”
The Sun Herald reports the case was dismissed this week without prejudice, meaning it could again be brought before a grand jury.
Ocean Springs police arrested Williams in March 2015.
