TRAVERSE CITY (AP) -- More information is being released by the U.S. Attorney's Office about a woman accused of stealing more than one million dollars from Munson Healthcare.

Federal prosecutors say the hospital's former accountant, Susan J. Morrison, embezzled the money between October 7, 2007 and April 28, 2011.

The U.S. Attorney's Office filed a felony information Wednesday against Morrison. She's charged with wire fraud and money laundering. She began working for Munson in 2000.

Prosecutors say Morrison transferred money from Munson bank accounts to her own account at Traverse City State Bank. They say she made false recipient accounts to cover up the theft.

Prosecutors will soon seize bank accounts and sports trading cards from Morrison as restitution.
