Michigan Woman Pleads Guilty To Embezzle $300K From Local Little League

From the Battle Creek Enquirer on 3/13/2015:

A former treasurer of a Detroit-area Little League organization is awaiting sentencing after admitting to embezzling more than $100,000 from the group.

The Macomb Daily reports Karen Dimitrie pleaded guilty Thursday to embezzlement over $100,000 for taking money from 2008 to 2013 while she was treasurer of the Clinton Valley Little League. She faces up to 20 years in prison when sentenced May 6.

Dimitrie was accused of taking up to $300,000 from the league. That amount has been disputed by her lawyer Dan Garon, however, who has said his client has repaid some of the money.

The amount of restitution hasn’t been determined. Macomb County Circuit Court Judge James Maceroni scheduled an April 16 status conference on that issue.
