Former administrative assistant arraigned

The former administrative assistant for the Three Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce was arraigned after she turned herself in Monday.

Bond for Deb Herring, 57, of Schoolcraft, was set at $10,000 personal recognizance by magistrate Mark Books. A warrant for her arrest was issued Wednesday last week after a charge of embezzlement was authorized by the county prosecutor’s office.

Herring allegedly stole between $20,000 and $50,000 from the chamber over the course of a seven-year period, according to county officials.

She is free on her own recognizance and will be represented by Three Rivers attorney Ron Grubbs.
