LENOIR, N.C. — A man accused of skipping out on wedding videography gigs now faces criminal charges.
Jonathan Dale Cox faces four felony charges tied to defrauding four couples.
Lenoir resident Megan Martin said Cox promised to take video of her wedding using multiple cameras, and even a drone. But 15 minutes before he was supposed to be there, Martin said Cox messaged her to say he had a flat tire. She said he never showed and then refused to give her a refund.
She was so upset over the incident, she posted about it on Facebook.
Other recent brides messaged her, she said, telling a similar story.
“Memories do fade and we’ll have pictures,” she said. “But it still doesn’t replace having that actual live footage to look back on.”
When asked by a reporter on Thursday whether he was guilty of what the four women are acusing him of, Cox replied "not completely."
Martin said some of Cox’s family members decided to refund her money after seeing her Facebook post.
