Open Door's ex-chief indicted - CharlotteObserver.com: "federal grand jury has charged Ed Payton with embezzling more than $145,000 from Mecklenburg Open Door, the publicly funded mental health contractor he once led.
Payton characterized the money he received from Open Door as loans or advances. But in reality, the grand jury said Wednesday, for 31/2 years he was 'simply embezzling money from MOD.'
While the former executive director said he intended to repay the loans, he reimbursed Open Door for 'barely 25% of these unauthorized payments' before the nonprofit's board confronted him in May, the indictment said."
