Two men linked to a troubled Triangle-area nonprofit were indicted on multiple charges by a Person County grand jury.

Courtney Jordan and Nick Gallardo were arrested in August. Days before the arrest, they were involved in a chase in Person County. They crashed after their vehicle hit a deer, according to authorities.

Jordan was on indicted on charges for fleeing to elude arrest, drug possession, property damage and trespassing.

Gallardo was indicted for drug possession, trespassing and felony conspiracy.

Both will be arraigned in Person County on November 17th to answer to the charges handed up by the grand jury.

Jordan and Gallardo are also charged with obtaining property by false pretenses and felony conpsiracy in Durham in connection to the business operations of the non-profit they ran.

The Courtney Jordan Foundation has been the subject of multiple WRAL Investigates reports. Gallardo is the chief financial officer of CJF America, a branch of the foundation and initiative aimed to "build stronger communities through innovative programs that empower youth, promote education, and foster economic growth."

WRAL Investigates spoke to several employees of the foundation who claim they were never paid.

Jordan and Gallardo are also defendants in several civil lawsuits over those payment claims.
