Two former employees of an Alabama Chick-fil-A have been indicted for allegedly conspiring to defraud the chicken chain of “hundreds of thousands of dollars,” federal prosecutors said.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Alabama announced that a federal grand jury issued a 16-count indictment charging Larry James Black, Jr. and Joshua Daniel Powell with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. Black is also accused of bank fraud and misuse of a social security number. In a joint statement, U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona and U.S. Secret Service Special Agent in Charge Patrick M. Davis said the men invented and executed a scheme to divert hundreds of thousands of dollars in customer payments between April 2018 and January 2020 from the Chick-fil-A in Birmingham’s Five Points neighborhood. Black, 37, was the restaurant’s director of hospitality, while Powell, 40, was a manager.More Related News
