Treasurer stole nearly $170K from Bellefonte church, police said | WJAC

A Bellefonte man is facing more than 300 counts of theft and receiving stolen property after writing checks to himself from a church’s account, according to police.

Police said 56-year-old Charles Kormanski wrote 379 checks to himself from St. John Lutheran Church, totaling nearly $170,000, over the course of seven years, beginning on Christmas 2011.

Police said church officials became suspicious when one of its members, who was in the financial profession, began taking a closer look at the church’s accounts and alerted the church that it would run out of money if something wasn’t done.
