A Roane County man is accused of embezzling thousands of dollars from a community center over the course of multiple years, according to court records. Timothy Paul Jones is charged with embezzlement in an investigation into misappropriated funds at the Newton Community Center dating back to at least 2020, according to a criminal complaint filed in Roane County Magistrate Court. Allegedly, Jones used his personal credit cards to pay for items at various places and then reimbursed himself with funds from the community center while working as a bingo administrator. During his tenure from 2020-23, expenses at the community center allegedly skyrocketed, leading to an investigation.
