A former secretary of the Clarksville Church of Christ has pleaded guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from
the church. Forty-seven-year-old Karen Ammons is to be sentenced December 18th.
Ammons pleaded guilty to one count of theft by deception. Prosecutors say she may have taken up to 150-thousand dollars over a five-year period.
Ammons was accused of padding her paycheck and writing other church checks to herself, then hiding the thefts by altering the church`s books.
