High Point Enterprise reports:
High Point Mayor Bernita Sims was indicted by a Guilford County Grand Jury Monday for allegedly writing a worthless $7,000 check to a family member as part of an estate settlement.
The true bill of indictment returned against Sims states that she “unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously did draw, make, utter or issue and deliver to (Annie Ponce)” a check from a First Bank account in High Point that Sims “knew at the time … did not have sufficient funds on deposit with the bank with which to pay the check.”
Sims has steadfastly maintained she will not resign, and the City Council won;t push her again, at least if you believed what they said following the 6-3 vote calling for her resignation.
