MARQUETTE, MI-- The preliminary hearing for a Marquette man accused of embezzlement has been adjourned to next month.
Brice Burge, 28, was the general manager of the Marquette Mutineers hockey team from November of 2016 to this past March. He’s charged with two counts of embezzlement from a non-profit or charitable organization.
During a preliminary exam Wednesday chairman of the Mutineers board Gary Enright claimed Burge spent thousands of dollars without authorization. The defense says Burge never received a salary in accordance with the organization’s bylaws.
The judge has allowed more time for the continuation of the preliminary hearing, set for July 26 in Marquette County District Court.
