CORINTH, Miss. (AP) — An Alcorn County judge has set bond at $60,000 for a county supervisor charged with 156 felony counts including embezzlement.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/1HbdYTL ) reports that Judge Jim Pounds set bond Friday at $10,000 for each of six indictments against 42-year-old Jimmy Dallan “Dal” Nelms, of Glen.

Pounds scheduled Nelms’ next court appearance July 1. He says any trials will be in late July or early August.

Among other things, Nelms is accused of taking kickbacks from a heavy equipment vendor and of using a county account at Lowe’s to buy items for his home.

The state auditor’s office says he should pay back $308,244.71.
