A former office manager at a Clare County business was charged Wednesday with embezzlement and another felony.
Farwell resident Renee Ann Alana, 39, who worked for Four Seasons Windows is in the Clare County Jail on $100,000 bond, according to court records.
Magistrate Rick LaBoda arraigned Alana on a charge of embezzlement between $50,000 and $100,000, a 15-year felony that could also be punishable by $25,000 or three times the amount embezzled, whichever is greater; and larceny by conversion, a five-year felony that could also be punishable by $10,000 or three times the value of the property stolen, whichever is greater, according to court records.
Alana is accused of stealing from her employer, Neil Satterlee, who hired her three years ago, not knowing she was on probation for three prior convictions.
Because Clare County Prosecutor Michelle Ambrozaitis put Alana on habitual offender notice, her sentence could be enhanced if she is convicted of the charges.
A hearing to determine if there is enough evidence for Alana to stand trial was set for 2 p.m. Dec. 13 in 80th District Judge Joshua Farrell's Harrison courtroom.
Satterlee said he reported Alana to police in August and that he is bothered by the fact that she was on probation but the state did not inform him of her prior convictions during her employment at Four Seasons Windows.
Alana was convicted in Ingham County of false pretenses between $1,000 and $20,000.
She was sentenced in August 2009 to probation.
She also has two uttering and publishing convictions in Ingham County, according to Michigan Department of Corrections records
