Butler said nothing as she was lead away in handcuffs, but Green talked about the 35 checks she allegedly wrote to herself over two years.
"She was shopping. That's apparently all it was," Green said.
"Maybe she was in over hear head. Maybe there were other things going on in her life that made it difficult for her to focus on her responsibilities," said Butler's attorney, Anthony List.

If found guilty, Butler could face up to seven years in jail.
She faces an arraignment on November 12th.
