The former executive director of the South Pittsburg Housing Authority in Marion County, Tenn., faces arraignment Friday on charges he stole thousands of dollars from the public agency.

Terry Case, of South Pittsburg, also is a member of the Marion County Board of Education.

Case turned himself in Tuesday on an indictment charging him with theft of property between $1,000 and $10,000 in connection with an investigation of the housing authority that landed two other authority officials behind bars in July.

No one answered or returned messages left Wednesday at a phone number listed for Case in South Pittsburg.

All the charges in the three cases stem from an investigation by the Tennessee comptroller’s office, 12th Judicial District Attorney Mike Taylor said.
