An administrative assistant at a Salina church is arrested, accused of embezzling more than $68,000 in church funds.
According to our news partners at The Salina Journal, police say the woman was an employee of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Salina. They say she'd been diverting the money for personal use since 2006.
Investigators say the church discovered the shortages during an internal audit of church accounts while the woman was on an extended leave.
The woman was arrested, and is expected to be charged with felony theft, false writing and computer crimes.
