Episode Details

Courtney Jordan, founder of the Courtney Jordan Foundation and a familiar face from WRAL Investigates reports over unpaid staff, is now facing serious legal trouble after allegedly fleeing a high-speed police chase through three counties. The chase began when deputies spotted his car near an elementary school — he sped off at 90 mph, hit a deer, went airborne, crashed into a fence, and slammed into a tree. Jordan and CFO Nicholas Gallardo fled the wreckage but were later caught in the woods, both injured and taken to Duke Hospital — where they vanished before deputies could secure felony warrants. Inside the wrecked vehicle: phones, credit cards, laptops, a receipt printer, and prescription drugs including buprenorphine and oxycodone. Both now have active warrants in Person County and outstanding ones in Durham. This scandal adds another layer to the nonprofit’s troubled history, which already includes state labor probes over unpaid workers — and it’s far from over.
