Lou Anna Simon was arraigned in court Monday and is facing four counts of lying to a peace officer, according to a felony warrant from the Michigan Attorney General's office. She is accused of knowingly and willfully making statements about the Nassar investigation that she knew were false or misleading.
Simon resigned in January after 13 years as president amid criticism of her handling of the Nassar scandal.
Simon was given a $5,000 personal recognizance bond. She will have to surrender her passport to the court. A preliminary examination hearing is scheduled for Dec. 18.
