Investigators say they determined the man, who sat on the board of the charity, allegedly stole the money over a 12 year period between September 2011 and June 2023.

On February 13, 2024 police arrested the 81-year-old man on Everts Avenue. He was charged with fraud over $5,000, laundering the proceeds of crime and possession of property obtained by crime.
