ITAWAMBA COUNTY, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Special agents from the State Auditor’s Office arrested a former Itawamba Community College (ICC) Telecommunications and Information Services Technician.

State Auditor Shad White said Timothy Lucius has been charged with one count of embezzlement.

Lucius is accused of selling multiple pieces of electronic equipment, owned by ICC, on his personal eBay store and pocketing the money for himself. Lucius was served with a $3,409.73 demand letter at the time of his arrest.

“We will continue to work on cases big and small to get results for the taxpayer,” said White. “Thank you to our investigators who uncovered this scheme.”
