On Thursday, State Auditor Shad White announced the arrest of John Jackson, the owner of JPA, Inc., for allegedly submitting fraudulent invoices to the City of Tutwiler. The invoices, amounting to $155,039.15, were for landscape architecture services that Jackson did not provide. If convicted, he faces a potential five-year prison sentence and a fine of $10,000. The Mississippi Office of the State Auditor emphasizes the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.
