Only two days apart, we learned of two separate allegations of thefts from two local organizations meant to help people in need. In the first, Julie Beale, the former finance director for the Appalachian Regional Coalition on Homelessness, was charged with stealing $119,000 from the nonprofit agency by making fraudulent payments to herself and family members and making unauthorized purchases from ARCH accounts. Two days later, former administrative assistant Joyce Grace Parsons was accused of charging $8,657 to Carter County Head Startâs credit cards for personal items. Neither of them have yet been convicted of crimes, and itâs not our intent to judge their guilt in this space. Thatâs the job of our justice system.
ELIZABETHTON â An investigation by the Tennesseeâs Comptrollerâs Office has resulted in the indictment of Joyce Grace Parsons, the former administrative assistant for Carter Countyâs Head Start program. According to the Comptrollerâs Office, investigators determined that Parsons used Head Start credit cards to make at least $8,657 in unauthorized purchases, including clothing, groceries, cosmetics, household goods and personal hygiene products. The Comptrollerâs Office said Parsons admitted that she made the purchases and told investigators that she signed other employeeâs names to her receipts to conceal her activities. Head Start officials first identified and reported the questionable activity to the comptrollerâs office. Parsons was suspended without pay on Jan. 22, 2020 and her employment was terminated on April 13, 2020.
