A Jackson man charged in a Sikeston stealing scheme is found guilty by jury.  35-year-old Jason Mitchell was charged with felony stealing.  He stole 516-thousand dollars from a Sikeston business over three years.  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.  A Cape County jury Tuesday night found him guilty.  He faces 5 to 15 years in prison at sentencing July 16th.
