71-year-old Waterford, Michigan woman arraigned on embezzlement charges after church says she stole from collection plates

A 71-year-old Waterford woman has been arraigned on embezzlement charges after police say she had been stealing from a Pontiac church's collection plates a short time after she began volunteering to help count its offerings.

Sally Crake was arrested in December with an unexplained $800 on her person. Surveillance cameras in St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church were placed in the volunteer area after suspicions about collection receipts not adding up arose.
Crake appeared in front of Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Rae Lee Shabot on Tuesday
