A local Catholic priest accused of stealing charitable funds was arraigned Thursday.
Father Timothy Kane and his co-defendant, Dorecca Brewer, appeared Thursday morning before Judge Margie Braxton. Kane and Brewer are charged in connection with an alleged fraudulent scheme to steal money from an Archdiocese of Detroit charitable fund.
The pair asked for a jury courtroom and will be before Judge Bruce Morrow for a calendar conference scheduled for April 11, according to the Wayne county Prosecutor’s Office.
Kane, 57, who had been serving at St. Moses the Black Parish in Detroit, was formally charged Feb. 12, along with Brewer, 34, of Jackson, with six felony counts in connection with missing money from the Angel Fund, which provides aid to the needy in Detroit, Highland Park and Hamtramck.
