[TexasTowelie]

A Hardin County woman has been charged with a second degree felony of theft after confessing to stealing $79,000 from a Kountze church.

Gerralyn "Gerry" Michelle Coplen, 43, confessed last August to writing herself personal checks from the Kountze First Methodist Church, where she served as secretary, over a two year period, according to an affidavit released by the Texas Rangers earlier this month.

She said she used the funds to pay personal debts.

Coplen was arrested and booked into the Hardin County jail on March 9. She was released after posting a $25,000 bond.
