John Freeman, a 37-year-old Midlothian resident, was arrested and charged with theft of property exceeding $300,000, according to police.
WYLIE, Texas — A former treasurer for a North Texas youth soccer organization has been arrested and charged after allegedly stealing “hundreds of thousands” of dollars from the association’s account without their authorization, according to police.
The Wylie Police Department said detectives arrested 37-year-old John Freeman, a Midlothian resident, on May 12 and charged him with theft of property exceeding $300,000.
Wylie police said Freeman’s arrest resulted from an investigation that began on Jan. 27, where the Wylie Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) reported strange transactions in the QuickBooks account. Wylie police’s investigation prompted an audit of the account, yielding documents from October 2019 to August 2024.
A review of those documents revealed hundreds of transactions, totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars which were removed from the association’s account without their authorization, police said. After reviewing all of the documents, police obtained an arrest warrant for Freeman, and he was taken into custody without incident.
Freeman was taken to Wylie Jail, police said.
