TBI Charges Former Martin Police Officer for Stealing from Toddler's Cancer Charity

TBI

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has charged a former Martin, TN police officer for an alleged theft of $18,000 from a charity established to benefit a 2-year-old cancer victim.  

34-year-old Guy Pryor is charged with one count of theft over $10,000.

On Sunday, at the request of 27th District Attorney General Tommy Thomas, TBI began investigating the case after financial records indicated that throughout 2015 sums of money were removed from a bank account opened by Pryor, who until recently worked as an officer for the Martin Police Department.

During the course of the investigation, TBI Agents, with the cooperation of the Martin Police Department, developed information that Pryor was responsible for the theft.

Pryor is being held in the Glynn County Detention Center in Georgia awaiting extradition to Tennessee.
