SOUTH PARK, Pa. — A South Park woman was arraigned Monday on charges of stealing nearly $1 million from an Upper St. Clair church with her husband.

Prosecutors say Connie and David Reiter had been stealing from Westminster Presbyterian Church for the past decade while he was the administrator.

Investigators said David Reiter deposited the money into a bank account controlled by him and his wife.

David Reiter allegedly went so far as to impersonate an auditor over the phone when other church officials started getting suspicious, police said.

The Reiters allegedly used the money for a variety of personal expenses including family vacations, vehicle repairs, tickets to Pittsburgh Pirates games and groceries.
