Ypsilanti city manager Frances McMullan

The Washtenaw County Prosecuting Attorney has lodged criminal charges against former Ypsilanti City Manager Frances McMullan.

The allegations against McMullan follow a nearly two-year-long investigation by Michigan State Police. McMullan is accused of unauthorized use of a city-issued credit card by a public official involving funds totaling thousands of dollars. A warrant for McMullan’s arrest was authorized Tuesday.

In a statement, Ypsilanti city officials said they have fully cooperated with law enforcement.
