Audit confirms misuse of funds | state, audit, alleges - ENCToday

An investigative audit alleges the executive director of a now defunct nonprofit that mentored at-risk youth in Greene and Lenoir counties embezzled $6,500 in state grant money for his own purposes.

The Office of the State Auditor alleges Shawn Howard, the former administrator of Kinston/Lenoir County One-on-One, submitted falsified documents in order to keep a lucrative contract to operate two state-funded mentoring programs and spent the money on cross-country trips and more than $5,000 in personal purchases.
