Suncoast Cathedral human resources director charged in theft of more than $100,000 from church
ST. PETERSBURG — As the human resources director at Suncoast Cathedral, Dawn Myers Martin ensured she was taking home a good chunk of change, according to an arrest report.
Martin, 46, inflated her biweekly salary and approved continued paychecks for her husband, even when he was on worker's compensation, the report states. It says she used department codes to disguise the anomalies.
Between January 2012 and August 2014, according to the report, she stole $115,143.44 from the church.
The theft was discovered in an audit, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office report says. Martin was arrested Aug. 25 and faces a charge of grand theft. Because an investigation into the case is ongoing, no further records were available.
