Subpoenas were issued for the church’s PNC Bank records. A review of those records showed over 23 fraudulent transactions were made off of the church’s bank account between April 3, 2015 and November 13, 2015, totaling a loss of $16,972 dollars. Video surveillance was also obtained which showed James Powell cashing several of the church’s checks that were made out to him for several thousand dollars. Further review of the church’s bank account showed that Powell had made numerous payments to his Chase Visa Credit Card and American Express Credit Card. Powell later confessed to stealing the money from the church.
Powell was charged on December 24th, 2015 and charged with embezzlement, theft, theft scheme and other related criminal charges.

What part of "That is not your money" did you not understand? Churches and businesses get audited! They WILL find out! Society needs a reboot.
What a POS.
Idiot.
I'm thinking six months in county lockup, out in 3, and restitution. It's also a cinch that he will no longer be the church treasurer.
dont he have a piece of land he can offer the church? I seem to have heard of this being done before, somehwere.
