Mom Steals $150K From Youth Softball League

A cop's wife is accused of stealing around $150,000 from a youth sports program. One where she was the treasurer from 2019-2024. 48-year-old, Carla O'Brien was booked last week for stealing $147,400 from the Fox Chapel Area Baseball Softball Association for personal use while she oversaw the club’s finances over a five-year period. Prosecutors said the organization’s board of directors became suspicious when O’Brien continuously failed to meet with her replacement to turn over the financial accounts, resulting in the new treasurer threatening to go to the bank to sort out the league’s affairs. Prosecutors said she spent the money at multiple retailers, including Sephora, Amazon, Kohls, Nike, White House/Black Market, TJ Maxx, Sam’s Club, and Target, with various payments made to restaurants, pharmacies, concert venues, liquor stores, an insurance company and pet supply shops.  O’Brien also used the funds to pay off credit cards, court documents show.  She's charged with theft by unlawful taking, misapplication of entrusted property, receiving stolen property and access device fraud.
