Woman accused of stealing $129,000 from a church


From Central Gulf Coast-

A local woman has been arrested and charged with stealing more than $100,000 from a church.

Carla Croud was the treasurer at St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Panama City, officials said, and she used her position to cash the church’s checks and keep the money.

Croud was arrested for the first time in this case on Sept. 26 when the church was contacted by the manager of Dodge’s Chicken, authorities reported. The manager told church officials that Croud had been cashing checks at his store for large amounts of cash.

Croud was charged with grand theft and 35 counts of forgery on Sept. 27. Then on Friday, investigators arrested Croud again after an investigation and an internal audit revealed that $129,000 had been stolen, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office news release. Croud cashed the checks at several local businesses, officials said.

On Friday, Croud was charged with a first-degree felony of grand theft of $100,000 or more. Officials added that the investigation is ongoing and more victims and charges are expected.
