Two former Birmingham Chick-fil-A employees have been indicted on federal fraud and wire fraud charges.
The federal grand jury on Tuesday issued a 16-count indictment against Larry James Black Jr., 37, of Center Point, and Joshua Daniel Powell, 40, of Moody. Black was the former director of hospitality at Chick-fil-A Five Points South and Powell was the former manager at the same restaurant.
A joint statement by Northern District of Alabama U.S. Attorney Prim Escalona and U.S. Secret Service Special Agent in Charge Patrick M. Davis says they are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. Additionally, Black was also charged with bank fraud and misuse of a social security number.
