Samuel Narroway, charity chief with fraud past, faces dishonesty charges
Samuel Mark Narroway leads a South Australian charity for prisoners' families. He faces charges over dishonest dealings and illegal entry.
Samuel Mark Narroway, director of Second Chances, appeared in Elizabeth Magistrates Court this week and was charged with two counts of dishonest dealings with documents and two counts of unlawfully being on premises.
The charges relate to actions in December at several South Australian locations. Mr Narroway has many past fraud convictions.
In 2019 he posed as a police officer three times in one day. He used a fake badge and flashing lights to pull over drivers.
He also impersonated a SafeWork SA inspector in 2016. The state government cut funding to Second Chances' Family Support Service after the charges.
This threatens a specialist service for children whose parents are in prison.
