Group's ex-treasurer charged with theft
A former treasurer for Alberta Smith Athletic Association in Midlothian was arrested last week on charges of embezzling about $12,000 from the organization over three years.
Jennifer L. Harris, 34, of the 4600 block of Lakefield Mews Avenue, was charged Thursday with four counts of embezzlement, Chesterfield County police said.
According to a letter posted on the athletic association's website by President Michele Reed, the theft was discovered during a routine internal audit of the organization's financial statements conducted by the new treasurer. The initial audit showed that $12,770 was missing, of which $11,835 has been recovered, Reed said in the letter.
Police said Harris returned much of the money but that more than $200 was still outstanding. In its letter, the association said it was preparing for an external, third-party audit to "fully understand the extent of the theft," which allegedly occurred between calendar years 2009 and 2011.
Harris is scheduled to appear Thursday in Chesterfield General District Court.
