A north suburban priest who was due to report to a Milwaukee courtroom this afternoon on a felony theft charge was a no-show because of car trouble, his lawyer said.
The Rev. James Dokos, who was suspended from his duties at a Greek Orthodox church in Glenview after Milwaukee County authorities announced plans to charge him with felony theft, must return to court on Monday, said the court commissioner who oversaw the hearing.
Dokos, who had served Saints Peter and Paul Church in Glenview since 2012, is accused of improperly spending more than $110,000 from a trust fund he oversaw when he was previously pastor at Annunciation Church in Milwaukee.
Dokos was charged with felony theft this week for allegedly writing checks for tens of thousands of dollars to benefit himself, associates and family members from a trust fund that was set up primarily to benefit Annunciation church, according to a criminal complaint from Milwaukee County district attorney’s office.
