WAYNESBORO, VA (Rocktown Now) — The former employee of a Waynesboro machine shop and her husband, who were arrested on charges related to an alleged embezzlement scheme, will appear before a grand jury.

Online records showed that Linda Lockhart had all eight of her embezzlement charges of over a thousand dollars certified to a grand jury during a hearing Tuesday afternoon in Waynesboro Circuit Court.

Her husband, Donald Lockhart, had his single charge of credit cart fraud also certified to a grand jury.
