Individual given specific instructions where to deliver all properties of deceased and verbally agreed to do as instructed, in presence of witnesses. Instead, the individual took all deceased's personal and business property to different location without administrator's knowledge, to a different location, where property was dispursed to unknown persons. Total worth worth greater than $5,000. Is this a case of theft from the Estate and could charges be filed by the administrator of the Estate. If so, to whom should the administrator contact. This is a case of property being brought from Florida to the State of Arkansas.

Sounds like a clear case of criminal conversion and a possible felony to boot due to the crossing of state lines.
Further, the beneficiaries of the estate have a good civil case against the defendant for the value of the property they were to receive.

I believe that the conduct described is vulnerable to criminal prosecution, not because the administrator was disobeyed but because property belonging to the estate was converted by means of theft.

The police in the place where the estate is in probate.
