Special agents from the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) arrested Elijah Wilson, former coordinator of the North Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers (NCMCS), after being indicted on two counts of embezzlement by a Marshall County Grand Jury.
Wilson, 48, is accused of using NCMCS funds to pay for a round-trip limousine service to Las Vegas last July for a national fraternity convention, according to State Auditor Stacey Pickering. In addition to the trip to Las Vegas, Wilson is accused of attending a Crime Stoppers conference in January of 2016, and receiving a travel advancement from the City of Holly Springs, as well as reimbursement from NCMCS for the same trip.
