John Edward Tubby, Jr., Burglary, Mississippi 2025
A Leake County man has pleaded guilty to burglarizing the Red Water Day Care located in the Red Water Community of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
According to court documents, in May of 2024, John Edward Tubby, Jr., 34, burglarized the day care, taking multiple electronic devices. Tubby was indicted by a federal grand jury in December of 2024.
Acting U.S. Attorney Patrick A. Lemon of the Southern District of Mississippi made the announcement. The Choctaw Police Department investigated the case.
Tubby is scheduled to be sentenced in July and faces a maximum penalty of seven years in prison. A federal district judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Brian K. Burns and Kevin J. Payne prosecuted the case.
The case is a reminder of the importance of protecting our children and communities from crime. The people of Mississippi expect and deserve a safe and secure environment, and it’s our job as journalists to hold those responsible accountable.
