FROM GASTONGAZETTE.COM-
A court case involving two people accused of embezzling from a Gaston church has been continued.
Originally scheduled to be heard on July 5 in courtroom 4C at the Gaston County Courthouse, the case against Gastonia residents Alan Eugene Roland, 55, and Linda Guffie Roland, 55, has been continued until July 18, said Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell.
The Roland’s are accused of embezzling $366,156 over a three-year period from Way of the Cross Baptist Church.
They each face two counts of embezzlement and one count of conspiracy after being arrested on Aug. 11, 2010, according to arrest records.
In August 2010, The Gazette reported that the Roland’s allegedly used their positions as church treasurer and assistant treasurer to embezzle money belonging to the church by writing checks from the church’s bank accounts to themselves, according to a warrant affidavit written by Mount Holly Police Detective L.M. Addis.
“Hopefully we’ll get it resolved soon,” Bell said.
