Woods' calendar call changed

WOODS

The calendar call date previously set for Wednesday, Oct. 3 for the State of Georgia vs. Terry Ray Woods has been canceled. According to a press release from the office of Middle Judicial Circuit Judge Kathy S. Palmer, Woods must now appear before the Honorable T. Penn McWhorter, Senior Superior Court Judge, on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 11 a.m. Purpose of the calendar call is to hear any and all pending motions relevant to the case.

Woods, who was charged with 124 counts of theft by deception, pled not guilty during an arraignment held July 18. State warrants allege that Woods embezzled a total of $237,798.25 from Emanuel County Board of Education, including some funds from the Youth Leadership Emanuel, an account maintained by Swainsboro Emanuel County Chamber of Commerce.

Funds obtained were from miscellaneous grants which were then processed through the Board of Education for disbursements. Woods signed invoices authorizing payments. He had access to a letterhead called "The Therapy Group" and originated the invoices.

He was arrested on Feb. 23 this year and released the same day on a $100,000 bond. A grand jury returned a true bill on all 124 counts of theft by deception on June 25.
