In addition to his role in the school system, Carroll was also listed as pastor of Happy Home Baptist Church in Columbus County, North Carolina, as recently as May 2024. However, the church’s website has since removed his name and other staff listings, raising further questions about the church’s internal awareness of the case.
The Alleged Incident
Investigators say the alleged assault occurred on May 29, 2025, when Carroll reportedly touched the 13-year-old’s private areas “with the intent of arousal.”
Carroll was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center and later released on a $30,000 bond. The case remains under active investigation by the Conway Police Department.
