BOONEVILLE – A Booneville man has been arrested and charged in connection with the theft of computers from Northeast Mississippi Community College.
According to Prentiss County Sheriff Randy Tolar, someone took 15 Think Pad Edge computers from the college last fall. The computers were brand new, still in the box and worth more than $10,000.
In late January, authorities issued an arrest warrant for grand larceny for Mickeal Brandon Meeks, 29, of Booneville. Saltillo Police arrested Meeks on Jan. 27. His bond was set at $25,000.
Tolar said the investigation has linked Meeks to a Craigslist post advertising computers for sale. Anyone who might have purchased one of the NEMCC computers is asked to call the Prentiss County Sheriff’s Office at (662) 728-6232.
