On August 15th, authorities in Tennessee took significant action by issuing an arrest warrant for Gregory Taylor, who serves as the quartermaster for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1618 located in Lawrenceburg. The warrant stems from allegations that Taylor misappropriated funds from the organization, specifically withdrawing a total of $14,000 from the VFW’s bank account. This amount falls within the legal definition of theft of property, categorized as being between $10,000 and $60,000.
Following the issuance of the warrant, a bond was set at $20,000, which was posted by September 10th. Subsequently, a criminal hearing was conducted to address the charges against Taylor. However, the proceedings have been postponed, with the next court date now scheduled for November 19th at 9:00 AM in General Sessions Court. This case continues to unfold as the legal process moves forward.
