Bloomfield Hills resident Craig Maass pleaded no contest to six counts of embezzlement on July 8.
Such pleas are not admissions of guilt but decisions to not challenge the charges. They are treated as convictions upon sentencing but offer some protection in civil matters.
Maass’ sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 30. Mr. Maass accepted responsibility for his actions, his attorney Clarence Dass said in an email. He has accepted responsibility from the moment allegations were made against him. He cooperated fully with the investigation, voluntarily turned himself in, and has never violated his bond conditions during the pendency of his case. He is remorseful and wishes to make things right with Oakland Hills.

Chelsea police chief won t drop charges against protesters, legal battle continues Omar Abdel-Baqui, Detroit Free Press Protesters demonstrated in front of the Chelsea Police Department Friday, confronting Chief Edward Toth after he said the department will not dismiss charges against people who protested in the streets over the summer in a case that has divided the small town and has led to a constitutional court battle.
Toth said Friday that it is not within the Police Department’s authority to drop civil charges after they have been submitted to the court and that it is up to a judge to rule on the charges, which is scheduled to occur Monday. This follows a City Council meeting earlier this week in which the body voted unanimously to recommend that police drop pending charges against protesters for impeding traffic.
