  According to White, Holloway embezzled cash as Sumrall neighbors paid their water bills. She allegedly did not include cash collections on daily bank deposit slips. From 2018-2020, Holloway allegedly took more than $13,000 from the Town of Sumrall.
  “As the native of a small town in the Pine Belt myself, my team and I will never turn a blind eye to what is happening with taxpayer money in our community,” said White. “We will hold the line and enforce the law wherever we find theft of public funds.”
