CLEVELAND, Ga. – Mitch Simpson, a well-known car dealership owner, has been charged with three felony counts of theft by conversion.

According to press release by Capt. Rick Kelley, of the White County Sheriff’s Office, Simpson was taken into custody by state officials Tuesday (March 26) after the Georgia Department of Revenue filed the charges.
