OCANA, Tenn. - A Sumner County woman is accused of stealing over $100,000 from her church. Members of the small country church are devastated and may even be forced to close their doors. Douglass Chapel United Methodist is one of those small country churches where everyone knows everyone. Members are learning they may not have known Crystal Moore Dycus as well as they thought.

"After a lengthy investigation with the Sheriff's Department, it was learned that Crystal Moore Dycus was the Treasurer at the church and she was responsible for the accounts there at the church and she admitted to taking money from the church," says Sumner County Sheriff's Department Detective Lisa House.

After 14 years as Treasurer, Marsha Davis turned the job over to Crystal. In November, Marsha got a call form the bank that the church account was overdrawn. Marsha says church investment CD's were closed without their knowledge and bank records show large ATM withdrawals and unauthorized purchases for things like Netflix.

"We trusted her and we never thought anything like this would happen, especially when she's standing in front of the church every Sunday looking at us straight in the eye," says Davis. "You know, it's just pretty sad."

Officials say the theft occurred between March of 2011 and November of 2012, totaling $160,000. It's a crippling loss for this small country church.

"My opinion is always have a backup system," says Detective House. "Always have somebody double check someone else's work."

Crystal Moore Dycus has a hearing next month on money laundering and theft charges. Last August, she was arrested for Possession of Schedule II and Schedule III Drugs for Resale.House of Spiritual Cleansing Taken to the Cleaners
