JACKSON- State Auditor Stacey Pickering and Director John Miller of the Biloxi Police Department announced today that Brian Gregory, the Assistant Manager at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum & Convention Center Ticket Office, was arrested for embezzling nearly $32,000 from ATMs owned by the state.

Gregory, 33, handled, had keys to, and knew the password and the combinations of the ATMs.

“This investigation is another example of agencies working together to protect the taxpayers of Mississippi,” State Auditor Stacey Pickering said. “I appreciate the hard work of both our Special Agents along with investigators at the Biloxi Police Department.

The Biloxi Police Department contacted the State Auditor’s Office in October, 2013 when they became aware of the possible embezzlement.
