	Pastor Suspected of Embezzlement Press & Argus [Michigan] January 19, 2007 http://www.dailypressandargus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070119/NEWS01/701190308/1002 The Livingston County Prosecutor's Office is reviewing a forensic accountant's report to determine whether to re-file charges against a Brighton pastor and his wife suspected of embezzling from Brighton Wesleyan Church. Conspiracy and embezzlement charges against Ronald Walker and his wife Teri were dropped in May after prosecutors seized 39 boxes of documents from the church's district office. At the time, Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse said the church's district office had been "extraordinarily uncooperative" and were trying to hide the documents. Prosecutors dropped the charges to examine the documents. Morse said the records could add support to allegations Ronald Walker and his wife embezzled up to $20,000 from the church between January 2001 and December 2003, or it could show more than $20,000 was stolen, or it could add nothing to the state's case. Ronald Walker was head pastor at the church until he was terminated in April 2004, while his wife served as the church's bookkeeper.
