Crown Point — Prosecutors have charged a former church secretary with stealing more than $106,000 from the Israel Metropolitan CME church in Gary.

Pamela Frizzelle, 44, of Gary, is charged with forgery, fraud on a financial institution and theft.

Court records allege that from Oct. 2, 2003, to Aug. 22, 2005, Frizzelle stole 94 church business checks and wrote them to herself on the church's two bank accounts.

Part of Frizzelle's duties included paying church bills, so she had access to the checkbook, court records say.
