Charges have been dismissed against one of two people accused of taking money from the Cedar Springs Youth Football organization.
Kent County prosecutors late last month dismissed charges against 48-year-old James Michael Crouch.
Crouch and Heather Vaughn were charged in July 2018 with embezzlement between $1,000 and $20,000. Both were on the Cedar Springs Youth Football board in 2017.
Vaughn was set for trial Oct. 7 but her case now is adjourned to February, court officials say.
Police said up to $12,000 went missing from proceeds collected in the 2017 football season.
Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker said the decision to dismiss charges against Crouch came after prosecutors reviewed all the evidence.
They decided there was “insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Crouch embezzled anything.”
