Myrna Marr, 65, Dorr, former Dorr Township Treasurer, appeared in 57th District Court Thursday, July 7, charge of larceny of $1,000 or more, but less than $20,000.
The felony complaint had been filed by Michigan State Police. Arrested on June 15, she has posted $1,000 bond.
A probable cause conference is scheduled for Thursday, July 14, in front of District Judge William Baillargeon and preliminary examination has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 19.
Marr abruptly resigned her position at the beginning of this year after being elected in November 2020 Before then she had served as deputy treasurer to Jim Martin, who retired. She did not give a reason for her resignation.
Townbroadcast, at that time, wrote, “… it has been no secret there has been a lot of tension and vitriol between her (Marr) and Trustees Chandler Stanton and John Tuinstra and Clerk Debbie Sewers. Stanton called her out publicly last year after he discovered a discrepancy of a little more than $8,000 in the budget expenditures…”
Laurie Perry has been appointed to succeed Marr in the treasurer’s post and will be up for election in the August primary to finish out the rest of the term.
