A man charged with a stealing scheme from a Sikeston business has a trial this week

Jun 18, 2012 -- 2:24pm

 

A Jackson man charged in a Sikeston stealing scheme will go to trial this week.  35-year-old Jason Mitchell is charged with felony stealing.  He allegedly stole 516-thousand dollars from a Sikeston business over three years.  Sikeston Police alleged Mitchell received a kickback that should have gone to the DeWitt Company of Sikeston as payment for fabric supplies, instead of putting it out to a low bidder.  The scheme involved payments from 2007 to 2009.  The stolen money was paid by wire transfer to a bank in Cape.  Judge William Syler will preside over Mitchell’s trial, set to run Tuesday and Wednesday in Jackson.
