Deputy Dennis Peeks responded to the scene and completed an initial report. Following the investigation, Joshua Dean Leon, 44, of Corinth, was charged with embezzlement. He is accused of taking more than $4,000 from the store.
Judge Craig Bishop set Leon’s bond at $10,000. Authorities also placed a hold on Leon for the Mississippi Department of Corrections, as he was on house arrest at the time of the alleged offense.
