Malik Johnston, a 47-year-old Flemington resident, was indicted for theft by a grand jury in Hunterdon County for stealing $1,000 from the club's bank account at a branch in Bridgewater, Hunterdon County Prosecutor Renée M. Robeson said.
At the time of the transaction, Johnston, also known as Pippin Folk was a former officer of the club and did not have permission to make the cash withdrawal and keep the funds, Robeson said.
Johnston was originally arrested last October while he was still serving on the town council. He rejected calls for his resignation but did not run for re-election. He was first elected in 2020.
In Feb. 2023, Johnston was arrested for selling meth and cocaine to an undercover officer numerous times in Raritan Township, authorities said.
