Authorities allege she used over $218,000 of the charity's funds for her personal expenses between about Jan. 1, 2010, and July 31, 2012.

A woman accused of stealing more than $200,000 from an Ohio charity that helps veterans, military service members and their families has been indicted on theft and other charges.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien says a grand jury on Wednesday indicted 51-year-old Rebecca Drobnick on one count each of aggravated theft, prohibited acts and practices for charities and tampering with records.

Court records don't show an attorney for the Columbus woman. Her home telephone number was not immediately available.

O'Brien says Drobnick was president of the Ohio Chapter of Operation Homefront.  Authorities allege she used over $218,000 of the charity's funds for her personal expenses between about Jan. 1, 2010, and July 31, 2012.

Drobnick could be sentenced to over 7 years in prison if convicted of all the charges.
