(May 14, 2008)—The Bell County Grand Jury Wednesday indicted Paula Cecil of Fort Hood in connection with the theft of more than $80,000 from St Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Killeen.
Killeen police have been investigating the theft since Jan. 9, when church officials reported a discrepancy in financial records.
Police were called after Extraco Bank advised the church that a number of checks had been paid to the same church employee over a period of about five months.
“Through the investigation and audits it was discovered that the church’s administrative assistant had misapplied funds for her own personal use; this had been occurring since August of 2007,” police said in a press release Wednesday.
Cecil is charged with misapplication of fiduciary funds over $20,000 but less than $100,000.
Bell County deputies arrested Cecil at her residence without incident, police said.
She was in the Bell County Jail Wednesday night in lieu of $100,000 bond.

She's not doing anything anyone else isn't doing!
A few weeks back the girl that was the secretary at our church stole $27,000 from our church in Cameron. What is with people stealing from churches?!?!? They need to get right with God!
Somehow i just dont feel sorry that a church got "robbed"! Many of them are doing just that from their "flock"! Many use manipulation and intimidation to get those dollars flowing into the church's account!
