Former Highland Park Baptist Church, Muscle Shoals, financial secretary Deborah Mansell pleaded guilty Jan. 15 to stealing more than $130,000 from the church from July 2011 to April 2014.
Mansell, 63, faces a sentence of 46 months in jail but could receive probation for the charges that include first-degree theft of property and 20 counts of fraudulent use of a credit card. She also will have to pay back the money.
Mansell used the church credit card as though it were her own and took money from line items in the church budget in order to hide the transactions she was making.
She was arrested July 16, 2014. (TAB)
