Former Deputy Darrell Thornton Accused of Embezzlement

CLEMMONS, N.C.

A former Yadkin County deputy is being accused of embezzlement and lying about a cancer diagnosis.

A report stats that 33-year-old Darrell Brian Thornton of Clemmons collected $1,800 from a hot dog benefit in April after co-workers and church members were told he had cancer. Investigators say Thornton had changed a doctor’s report to show the diagnosis.

He is also accused of drug possession and taking money from the sheriff’s drug fund.

Thornton is in the Forsyth County jail under a $500,000 bond.
