LINCOLN COUNTY, N.C. — The former president of a Lincoln County charity will spend up to six years in prison for embezzlement.
According to a release from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Kevin Turner was convicted of three felony counts of embezzlement of more than $100,000 each on June 30.
Investigators claim Turner used the L-Town Charities bank card to make more than $400,000 worth of online gambling bets and unauthorized purchases over the course of two years.
The nonprofit supported parents of children in various activities, like dance and sports, to help offset the costs.
Tuner’s sentence will be served in the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections.
