A woman was indicted last week after being accused of stealing thousands of dollars from a church.
According to the indictment obtained by WSB, Peggy Coker Hicks was employed at Union Hill Church from 2012 to 2019. During that time, she served as the financial treasurer.
On Oct. 4, 2019, a witness told police that he suspected Hicks had stolen several hundred thousand dollars of church savings since 2012.
Upon further investigation, the indictment said Hicks stole over $25,000 from the church.
It is unknown if the church ever got its money back.
Hicks was indicted on Dec. 12, 2022, on one count of theft by taking.
