MARQUETTE -- A Gwinn woman has been charged with embezzlement from a charity organization.
    
Angie Spaulding is accused of taking between $1,000 and $20,000 from the St. Vincent de Paul Society in Marquette.
    
According to the Marquette City Police, the alleged embezzlement happened over a period of time in 2011.  Spaulding was an accountant at St. Vincent de Paul. She allegedly used St. Vincent de Paul's credit card to make personal purchases for approximately over $10,000
    
She is charged with embezzlement along with using a financial device, like a credit card, without consent.  Spaulding is free on bond.
    
The penalty for embezzling from a charity organization is more serious, double the normal prison time.  If convicted, Spaulding could get 10 years behind bars and/or a $15,000 fine. 

She'll be back in court January 25.
