Wilmington, NC – Jeremy Cribb is charged with obtaining property by false pretense and four counts of embezzlement by a local public official.
Jennifer Canada, spokesperson for North Carolina Attorney General, says the charges are for submitting a false resume, which led to Cribb receiving almost sixteen thousand dollars in salary and benefits, and for making personal purchases on the town's credit card.
The State Bureau of Investigation opened the investigation on Cribb after he resigned as the town administrator. He was released from the Brunswick County Jail on a twenty-thousand dollar unsecured bond.
The town of Calabash is now accepting applications for his replacement.
