A hearing at which a rural Yorktown woman is expected
to plead guilty to embezzling almost $200,000 from a Muncie church is now
scheduled for May 28.
Angela Renee Linder, 42, is charged with wire fraud in
U.S. District Court in Indianapolis. A change-of-plea and sentencing hearing had
been set for May 23, but it was recently rescheduled.
The charge is a federal offense that carries a maximum
20-year prison term and $200,000 fine. Court
records reflect Linder and her attorney have negotiated a plea
agreement.
Linder worked at Union Chapel United Methodist Church
from 2001 through May 2010, and was in charge of handling payroll, preparing tax returns and the church’s credit card accounts, according to U.S.
Attorney Joe Hogsett’s office.
She is accused of using those credit cards, and writing
fraudulent checks drawn on church accounts, to pay for her personal expenses,
and with paying herself more than $50,000 in unearned wages.
