Former Biloxi schools police chief indicted in embezzlement

The police chief of the Biloxi School District has been indicted on an embezzlement charge alleging he took more than $150,000 from the Mississippi Association of School Resource Officers.

State Auditor Stacey Pickering announced the arrest of Paul Cannette of Ocean Springs on Wednesday.

State agents arrested Cannette, 48, on Tuesday after a Harrison County grand jury indicted him on one count of embezzlement.

Cannette, a former Biloxi patrol officer and criminal investigator, has since resigned from the campus police job and from his office with the state organization, Pickering said in a news release.
