JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) _ Two officers of the Salvation Army of Jonesboro have
been relieved of their duties after officials began investigating them for
financial wrongdoing.
The Jonesboro Sun reports Lts. Curtis and Angela Sadler were told to leave
the facility Wednesday and not return unless an internal investigation conducted
by officials outside the region clears them of any wrongdoing.
Capt. Thomas McWilliams is a spokesman for the Salvation Army of Arkansas and
Oklahoma, which oversees operations in both states. He says the allegations
against the Sadlers involve claims of stolen money from donation kettles, theft
of supplies and money laundering.
McWilliams says it’s common practice to relieve Salvation Army directors during
investigations, and it isn’t indicative of guilt. He says officials are
meeting with Jonesboro Police to discuss the investigation.
