(Miami Herald) A South Georgia pastor faces decades in prison after he’s accused of stealing thousands of dollars in federal COVID-19 relief funds, some of which authorities said he used to buy a new luxury car.
A grand jury handed down a five-count indictment Tuesday against Mack Devon Knight, 45, of Kingsland, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Georgia. The indictment alleges Knight, who’s also a restaurateur and tax preparer, lied to the Small Business Administration to fraudulently obtain $149,900 in CARES Act funding.
