 Barry Cain

A former church treasurer is in jail charged with defrauding his church and a cemetery of over half a million dollars over a six year span.  Fifty-one year old Barry Cain of Broome Road was arrested Friday morning at his house without incident.  Cain was the treasurer of Gallaher Memorial Baptist Church from 2000 until 2006.  During that time, he is accused of embezzling a total of $78,302.21 from the church by writing checks to pay bills not connected to church expenses and writing checks to himself that totaled over $40,000.

He is also accused of writing checks to himself, paying his own bills, and writing checks to family members with money belonging to Edgewood Cemetery on Gallaher View Road.  He also had people pay for cemetery plots by writing the checks to him instead of the cemetery. He is charged with stealing $597,516.69 from the cemetery.

He is being held in the Knox County Jail on a $100,000 bond.  Knox County Sheriff’s Office Detective Jim Albanese has been investigating the case for several months before taking the case to a grand jury which indicted him this week.
