The Roys Report reports:
A North Carolina pastor was found dead a week after he was charged with multiple child sex crimes, the Union County Sheriff’s Office today confirmed with The Roys Report (TRR). Waymon Jordan Sr., the senior pastor at Greater Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Waxhaw, North Carolina, was arrested on March 6, according to an earlier statement from the police on Facebook.
Jordan, 79, was charged with four counts of statutory sex offense with a child. The pastor was found dead about a week after being released. Jordan was discovered behind his church with a weapon nearby. Lieutenant James Maye said, “We can’t officially say this was a self-inflicted gunshot wound at this time because the medical examiner has still not made their findings public, so we are waiting on that.”
Read the full article. Police say no foul play is suspected, effectively confirming that it was a suicide. My first report on Jordan is here. Last month an Alabama youth pastor died by suicide after being arrested on child porn charges.
Pastor Waymon Sykes Jordan Sr., 79, of Greater Blessed Hope Church in Waxhaw, North Carolina, has died by suicide just days after his arrest for statutory rape. Pastor Jordan was found dead in the church’s cemetery.
