    The Maennerchor donates money to charities that support veterans, children with disabilities, the hungry and homeless, the public library, student athletes and more, according to its website.

    It is alleged that when Johnson was confronted about the missing money, he resigned from his role, police said in the charges.

    Online court documents show that charges against Johnson were actually filed in June but they were dismissed. Police then refiled charges on Oct. 4.

    Johnson faces two felony charges of theft.

    Johnson is out on unsecured bail set at $20,000 and he awaits a preliminary hearing scheduled for Nov. 6.
