The operator of a Dahlonega faith-based sobriety house investigated for alleged fraud was wanted under a different name in Arkansas, according to authorities. Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Alan Roach said authorities began investigating “possible criminal activity” at the Experience of Grace Ministries sobriety house on Tipton Drive in Dahlonega, which is run by Starla Pope. The alleged fraudulent activity is still being investigated, and anyone who may have been a victim is asked to contact Capt. Marcus Sewell at 706-482-2619.
