Former Dorr Township Treasurer Myrna Marr pleaded guilty Sept. 14 in Allegan County Circuit Court and was sentenced to one day in jail with credit for one day served and community service in lieu of jail time.
Marr, who originally was charged with two felony counts of larceny of more than $1,000, but less than $20,000 from Dorr Township coffers, also was facing a license suspension clearance fee of $6,631.36, which was due Nov. 30, and was ordered to serve 11 months probation.
She was arrested in June, appeared in 57th District Court and then was bound over to 48th District Circuit Court to face Judge Marge Bakker.
Marr, 66, who resigned her seat on the Township Board last January after serving for a little more than a year, was arrested by Michigan State Police in June and charged with two counts of larceny of more than $1,000 but less than $20,000, both felonies.
Marr abruptly resigned a little more than a 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.
Laurie Perry has been appointed to succeed Marr in the Dorr Township Treasurer’s post and will complete the remainder of the four-year term because she was unopposed on the ballot in the August primary.
