Johnson had the opportunity to follow around a local attorney named Randy Campbell for half a day, once a week. There he was able to watch his first criminal jury trial \u2013 a \u201cwhisper stop\u201d drug case.<\/p>\n<p>Gen.

The almost three-year long investigative audit revealed overpayments of salary and benefits (unaccounted for overpayments of weekly salary, over-calculation of sick leave reimbursements, etc.) that also resulted in over-credit of retirement benefits from Finance Director Brewer\u2019s retirement covering a period of time from her retirement in June 2020 back to July 1, 2014, which is as far back as auditors went with their review due to time and workforce constraints. Because of the labor-intensive review of the process of scrutinizing each individual weekly payroll and performing recalculations, the auditors had to choose 2014 as a point at which to stop, even though Brewer served in the Finance Director position for decades.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>From the date of retirement until the end date of the audit in 2014 the Comptroller\u2019s Office determined that Brewer had paid herself over $131,000 in unearned salary and benefits.  The report was finally approved and made available to Russell Johnson\u2019s District Attorney General\u2019s Office several weeks ago.  Upon receipt of the investigative audit report, District Attorney Johnson and ADA Jonathan Edwards, who was assigned the case, reached out to Brewer\u2019s legal counsel and met with Brewer, her husband, legal counsel and private investigators for the defense, along with the two auditors from the Comptroller, and Kingston City Attorney Andrew Thompson to review the audit results and to explore the probability of a successful prosecution on the alleged theft.  <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>As a result of that meeting a felony plea agreement was reached and Carolyn Brewer appeared in Wartburg today (Friday, June 5th) where Criminal Court was meeting with Judge Jeff Wicks presiding, to enter a guilty plea to Class C felony theft with a three-year TDOC felony sentence.  She paid $131,596.22 in restitution to the City of Kingston, court costs and fines.  Due to her advanced age, Brewer will serve the three-year felony sentence on probation.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>ADA Jonathan Edwards handled the review of this case, and the resolution was worked out by District Attorney Johnson and ADA Edwards. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation assisted the Comptroller auditors (Jimmy Hodges and Brett Bell) with the interview of Brewer. Hodges and Bell prepared the report that the Comptroller\u2019s Office will be releasing to the public since the guilty plea has been entered. Kingston City Attorney Thompson will be reviewing the report with Kingston City officials on Tuesday.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/><img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>END OF

his Church in Lenoir City<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/> <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>The case against former Canvas Church of Lenoir City pastor Nicholas Rains started with members of the congregation becoming aware of his immoral behavior and misuse of funds which resulting in the leadership asking Rains to step down as pastor.  Church leaders conducted their own \u2018audit\u2019.  Their efforts revealed the extent of the fraud\/theft of funds, and the church leadership notified our office in April of 2023. In turn we requested the Tennessee Comptroller\u2019s Office to perform an investigative audit for purposes of prosecuting criminal charges.  <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/> <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>Their audit determined the Rains had been using the church credit card, as well as church funds for personal purchases such as shopping for groceries and numerous other person purchases and expenses. The Comptroller\u2019s audit was recently released to our office, and we presented the case against Rains for theft of over $250,000 which was indicted by a Loudon County Grand Jury.  The theft included paying for family vacations, along with a trip to Alaska, as well as making his house payments and expenditures for female companionship, even though Raines is married with a family, and not to mention being the spiritual leader of his congregation.  The investigation was extensive and time consuming and involved using various church personnel to help make determinations as to what numerous purchases went to church use versus Rains\u2019 personal use.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/> <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>From a \u2018victim impact and input standpoint\u2019 the membership of the Canvas Church has been divided on how to proceed with the \u2018theft\u2019 allegations against their preacher.  Rains is no longer in charge of the Canvas Church, but he has apparently moved to another church in Roane County and can be seen participating in various roles on YouTube videos from that church.  A significant number of Canvas Church members were for forgiving Rains of his crimes (several of whom are related to Rains), but then there were obviously many that expressed indignation at Rains\u2019 conduct and are wanting prosecution and punishment.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/> <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>After the Comptroller\u2019s auditors recently completed the investigation, we met with several church leaders and decided to offer Nicholas Rains to plead guilty to the Theft Over $250,000, a Class B felony. The plea hearing on this agreement took place in the Loudon County Courthouse today (Friday, May 29th) in front of many members of the Canvas Church (which has been rebranded as Vineyard Church of Lenoir City). <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/> <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>The felony conviction plea agreement was for a sentence of eight years with Rains immediately going into custody (on Sunday) to serve 120 days (day for day) in the Loudon County jail and the remainer of the eight years on supervised probation with Rains to pay the church $100,000 in agreed upon restitution, plus court costs and fines.  The church has placed a lien on Rains\u2019 house as part of the plea agreement, which will draw interest and must be paid whenever Rains sells his house that is currently up for sale, or within a year, whichever occurs first.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/> <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>This is obviously a compromised plea agreement due in part to the divided opinion of the church who all want to move forward and forgo a jury trial that would have required going line by line through each purchase as many of the purchases include both church and personal uses, and as is the nature of many small churches, a lack of proper accounting controls that should always be in place to prevent and detect fraud, as there is usually a large amount of trust involved when the preacher is allowed to have control of the church funds.<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/> <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>ADA Bob Edwards of District Attorney General Russell Johnson\u2019s Office worked closely with church members and the Comptroller\u2019s Office on this audit, investigation and prosecution, and both Edwards and Johnson worked with Defense Attorney Brian Nichols to fashion the plea deal to eventually get reimbursement of a large amount of the funds back to the church, but also to provide punishment in the form of four months in jail for this egregious conduct.  The purpose of this extended explanation is to bring light to the conduct of Rains who was trusted by his family and his church family, and to serve as a cautionary tale to similar churches and organizations that trust can only go so far \u2013 therefore, \u201ctrust but verify\u201d [Ronald Reagan].<img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/> <img class=\"cff-linebreak\" \/>END OF
