A St Joseph Girl Scout troop leader is charged with stealing more than $3,500 in proceeds from cookie sales.

A single count of felony stealing was filed against 23-year-old Stephanie Morris.

Arraignment is scheduled next week. Morris is free on $10,000 bond.

Investigators say they discovered the bank account for Troop 8705 had been emptied sometime in November or December of 2011. Court documents reveal Morris admitted taking the money.
