On July 22, 2021, the Oxford Police Department took a report of jewelry being stolen from a residence. The investigation uncovered similar incidents being investigated by the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department. A joint investigation was conducted which led to the recovery of thousands of dollars in stolen jewelry and heirlooms.
A person of interest was identified, and on August 18, the Oxford Police Department officially charged Steven Tisdale, 56, of Blue Mountain, with seven counts of Grand Larceny. Tisdale is currently in the Desoto County Jail awaiting extradition back to Oxford. Tisdale’s bond was revoked.
We would like to thank the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department and Clean Sweep Cleaning Service for their assistance in this case. If you believe you may have been a victim, please contact the Oxford Police Department or the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department and ask to speak to an investigator.
