Former funeral director Scherrie McLin posted a $250,000 cash bond Friday after serving 15 days in the Montgomery County Jail on charges related to a fraud investigation concerning $200,000 in missing funds.

McLin left the jail with a coat draped over her head with her son Mark Donelson.

“The truth will come out,” Donelson said. “Ask all the families in this community that we’ve been servicing since 1932. All the great that we’ve done. They’ll tell you exactly what’s really going on.”

Donelson went on to say, “Do your research…find out who else is involved in this situation.”

McLin, 54, of Trotwood was indicted on 17 felony charges in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on Feb. 12. The indictment came after a county prosecutor’s office investigation of $200,000 in missing prepaid funeral contract funds that McLin allegedly handled while operating the McLin Funeral Home, 2801 N. Gettysburg Ave.

McLin’s funeral director license and the funeral home’s license were permanently revoked by the Ohio Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors last year after it was revealed that McLin violated nine state laws and administrative codes.

The prosecutor’s case includes charges of grand theft, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, tampering with government records, forgery, violating preneed contracts and theft from an elderly or disabled adult.

A warrant was issued for McLin’s arrest on Feb.12 and McLin surrendered to law enforcement 10 days later.

The prosecutor’s office investigation revealed 50 victims, including a dozen who are deceased, according to county Prosecutor Mathias Heck Jr. Most of the victims were elderly or disabled.

McLin’s next court appearance is Tuesday in front of Judge Mary Katherine Huffman.
