ST. PAUL — A woman who provides free Thanksgiving meals to people in the Twin Cities and western Wisconsin has been charged with theft.

Forty-year-old Tracy Turner was charged in St. Croix County, Wis., accused of embezzling funds from a title company where she used to work.

According to a criminal complaint, an audit revealed about $27,000 missing from the Hudson branch of All American Title. Investigators allege more than $12,000 was traced to Turner’s home mortgage account.

Turner disputes the allegations. She says there were questionable processes for finalizing policies, which is partly why she quit in 2013 and is at the root of the audit.

Turner says health problems are forcing her to take a break from the meals this year.
