According to the Isabella County Sheriff's Department, 34-year-old Stephanie Lynn Lyon of Mount Pleasant was arraigned this morning on three felony counts, including embezzlement of $20,000 or more, forgery and fraud.

While working as an accountant at Smith and Son's, police say Lyons double-signed and cashed 27 checks in 2010.
