Faith Shields-Dixon, founder of the Faith4Hope Scholarship Fund, will plead guilty to three felony counts of theft out of five, InForum reported, citing a plea agreement she signed Oct. 1. The deal follows years of allegations of financial mismanagement by BLM leaders after their organizations received lavish funding.
Prosecutors accused Shields-Dixon of accepting $350,000 in grant money for the Faith4Hope Scholarship Fund, which was meant to assist low-income families, and directing $124,000 of it to businesses run by family members. Shields-Dixon told InForum that her sentencing hearing will reveal what precise illegal actions she will confess to.
