FROM FOX17ONLINE.COM -
The Allegan County Sheriff's Department is investigating $4,000 that is missing from the Wes Leonard Foundation.
The nonprofit organization purchases automatic external defibrillators for schools in honor of Wes Leonard, the Fennville star basketball player who died of a heart ailment shortly after hitting a game-winning basket in March.
Lt. Frank Baker of the Allegan County Sheriff's Department told FOX 17 NEWS that $4,000 in profits is missing from the sale of Wes Leonard T-shirts at the Tastee Treat in Fennville, which is owned by Christine Thompson-Vanderbok. The money was supposed to go to Leonard's family.
In another case, Baker said that Thompson-Vanderbok surrendered Thursday on embezzlement charges of misappropriating from $200 to $1,000 from Project Graduation 2011.
Baker said the Sheriff's Department intends to submit the investigation concerning the missing Wes Leonard Foundation funds to the Allegan County Prosecutor's Office sometime next week.
