The Clarion-Ledger reports (http://on.thec-l.com/2eb6Eys ) Flowood Police confirm Epps’ arrest Tuesday for allegedly removing light fixtures from his home that was forfeited as part of his February 2015 guilty plea to bribery charges.
Chief Richie McCluyskey tells (http://bit.ly/2faxNE5) WLBT-TV that Epps faces charges of burglary. Epps’ attorney, John Colette, says he didn’t have many details, but was headed to Flowood.
