GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) -

A Gulfport business owner who was missing property recently found it - on Facebook. Now one of his former employees is charged with embezzlement.

Police say John Milner, owner of Milner Rental, was looking at pictures on Facebook when he spotted some of his business's property in a picture. It was posted by a relative of Jonathan Huckabay, who hadn't worked for Milner in months.

Milner checked his inventory and found he was missing a large party tent, tables and chairs. Investigators recovered the missing property at Huckabay's home, and he was arrested.

Gulfport Police said the 25-year-old was being held at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center pending a preliminary hearing.
