Former Calhoun High School teacher Donald Underwood has been arrested
in Wirt County for a series of bad checks issued to Dick's Market and Hill's
Exxon of Elizabeth.
Magistrate Court records indicate Underwood has been charged with seven
counts for bad check writing. Bail has been set at $1,750 and a trial date is
to be set.
Underwood's teaching certificate was taken after action by the Calhoun
County Board of Education, linked to his inappropriate conduct. Underwood
had served jail time for a felony count, which had been reduced to a
misdemeanor. The arrest was related to a "financial scam" he perpetrated
on Calhoun Banks.
Underwood was allowed to teach school in Calhoun and return to jail in Wirt
County in the evenings. He reportedly violated the "work release" by going
shopping in Marietta on a non-school day. |
