Mississippi employee arrested for embezzlement

Attorney General Jim Hood, in a news release Tuesday, said 31-year-old Amanda Combs, of Brandon, turned herself in to the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, after being indicted on three counts of embezzlement by a public employee. Jail records did not indicate if she has an attorney.

While working in the payments processing division at the Public Employees’ Retirement System, Combs allegedly redirected $65,000 of retiree and beneficiary payments into her own accounts.
