MANISTIQUE, MI--   A Seney Township embezzlement suspect has been sentenced on a drug charge.

Haines pleaded guilty to the drug charge and was sentenced last week to 21 days already served.  She must also pay $696 in fines and restitution. 

No trial date has yet been set for the embezzlement charges.
