BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Biloxi Police have arrested a man who they say stole more than $3 million from the American Shrimp Processing Association — all while serving as a top executive.
Thursday, Biloxi PD arrested 79-year-old Charles David Veal of Gulfport and charged him with felony embezzlement.
Police say the arrest stemmed from an investigation that started after the American Shrimp Processing Association reported that Veal, once the group’s executive director, had transferred funds from their nonprofit bank account and into his own personal account. He’s suspected of stealing millions of dollars between 2016 and 2022.
Harrison County Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain issued the arrest warrant for Veal.
The Biloxi Police Department is asking anyone with information regarding this incident or any other incident to please contact the Biloxi Police Department Investigation Division 228-435-6112, Biloxi Police Department Dispatch 228-392-0641, or the Biloxi Police Criminal Intelligence Unit ciu@biloxi.ms.us.
