Georgia Police Chief Accused Of Stealing House

Carver Bible College Police Chief Joseph Woods is accused of stealing the home of a deceased Fulton County grandmother and may face possible criminal charges today in connection with alleged mortgage fraud, according to a report by Investigative Reporter Dale Cardwell of WSB-TV Channel 2 in Atlanta, Georgia. According to the report:

• Woods is the leader of a local police department that employs a number of officers facing criminal charges such as murder and assault,
• he was already accused of theft by deception and is now looking at an additional charge possibly being tacked on,
• the warranty deed which made Woods the owner appears to be a fraud, and
• since an interview with Channel 2, Woods has told the family he wants to give the house back.

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard is calling for anybody else who may be familiar with Woods and this kind of practice to come forward and speak to the D.A.’s office to determine if he’s done this kind of thing before.
