A Rockingham County grand jury indicted three people, including a former pastor of Goodwill Baptist Church in Madison, on charges they embezzled funds from the church.
John Albert Jackson Sr., 63 of 5335 Lewey Lane in Winston-Salem, resigned in 2011, after members of the church, located at 1036 K-Fork Rd., in Madison, allegedly confronted him about missing funds. Members then notified the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office about the missing funds, said deputy Kevin Suthard.
They determined that the church had allegedly lost $66,567 during the pastor’s 19-year tenure there.
The grand jury on Monday handed up nine felony counts of embezzlement of funds, 12 counts of malfeasance of corporation officers and agents, four counts of obtaining property by false pretense and conspiracy to commit a felony against Jackson.
The grand jury also handed up indictments against Jackson’s son, John Albert Jackson Jr., 38, of 213 Oakmont Park Dr., in Kernersville, and Treva Toshanda Tatum Moore, 37, of 928 Fern St., in Madison.
The father and son turned themselves in Thursday. Jackson Sr. posted a $10,000 bond and was released.
Jackson Jr. was charged with felony embezzlement of funds, conspiracy to commit a felony and malfeasance of corporation officers and agents.
Jackson Jr. posted a $7,500 bond and was released.
Moore, who was charged with nine counts of felony embezzlement, malfeasance of corporation officers and agents and conspiracy to commit a felony, turned herself in today. She posted a $40,000 bond and was released.
Jackson Sr. is now the pastor at Grace Fellowship Church, 4015 Brownsboro Road, in Winston-Salem.
