Police: Woman stole nearly $14K from church bingo

CRESSON (AP) - Police say a woman entrusted with the money from a central Pennsylvania church bingo that benefits the school her four children attend instead stole nearly $14,000 of it.

WJAC-TV reports 40-year-old Lori Chislow, of Gallitzin, was charged months after she told a priest what she stole. Police say that prompted St. Francis Xavier Church in Cresson to perform an audit which uncovered even more missing money than Chislow acknowledged, or about $13,600.Adding insult to injury, the bingo benefits All Saints Catholic School, where Chislow got discounted tuition for her kids for working the bingo.
