A former New Jersey councilman has been accused of stealing money from a Democratic club. Previously, the Democratic politician was charged with selling cocaine and meth to an undercover cop.
On Thursday, the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office said Malik D. Johnston – of Flemington, New Jersey – was indicted by a grand jury on a charge of theft by unlawful taking – a third-degree crime. He was initially charged with the crime in October. If convicted of the third-degree crime, Johnston faces up to five years in prison and a fine of as much as $15,000.
Johnston, 47, is a former member of the Flemington township council and a former officer of the Flemington Democratic Club.
Johnston, also known as Pippin J. Folk, is accused of going to a bank in Bridgewater and withdrawing $1,000 from an account belonging to the Flemington Democratic Club on June 2, 2023.
