KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- A former church treasurer is charged with defrauding his church and a cemetery out of nearly $700,000 over a six-year period.

Barry Cain, 51, was arrested Friday morning at his home.

Cain was the treasurer of Gallaher Memorial Baptist Church from 2000 to 2006.

During that time, officials say Cain embezzled more than $78,000 from the church by writing false checks.

He's also accused of stealing $597,000 from Edgewood Cemetery.

Cain is in the Knox County jail on a $100,000 bond.
