On March 2nd, 2026, Pamela Latrice McNutt — a longtime City Clerk for the City of Marks, Mississippi, and the sole person responsible for processing every cash payment that entered Marks City Hall — was sentenced to 12 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to one count of Embezzlement by a Public Official, stealing nearly $150,000 in funds from one of the poorest communities in the Mississippi Delta. The scheme ran from November 2017 through April 2021, during which McNutt systematically skimmed cash payments made by Marks residents for their water and sewer bills, municipal court fines, and annual privileged license fees — pocketing the money, handing customers their handwritten receipts, and destroying the city's carbon copies before entering anything into the billing system. ––– Disclaimer: This video is a dramatization based on real events.
