The grand jury of the 90th Judicial District Court has indicted Kari Lin Sears. Sears has been charged with stealing from the Graham Area Little League Girls Softball in the amount of more than $1,500 but less than $20,000.
The indictment says that from the period of March 1, 2007, to July 22, 2008, Sears unlawfully appropriated funds in the form of “cash from the concession stand, cash from fund-raisers or monies from checks written on the account at First State Bank.”
A press release issued from the Graham Police Department said in an investigation by Sgt. Jeff Smith, the department learned that Sears had allegedly taken over $6,000 from the softball league.
Sears was on the softball association board and her position was to manage the concession stand.
“Sears allegedly wrote checks on the concession stand account made out to her for cash or reimbursement of equipment and then used the money for personal matters,” the release read.
The case was filed with the 90th District Attorney’s Office in October 2008.
