Former Non-Profit Executive Arrested after Stealing $100,000

In Los Angeles, California, a former executive director of a non-profit was recently arrested and charged with felony white collar crimes. The offender, J.G., was detained by local law enforcement after they learned that she had embezzled over $100,000. Following her arrest, the 61-year-old was charged with three felony counts including commercial burglary and grand theft. J.G. went before a judge this week to enter a plea of guilty for stealing from the organization that taught reading and writing skills to at-risk youth. As part of her plea bargain, she received one year behind bars, a reduced sentence that was agreed upon with the prosecutor.

In addition, she must also pay back all of the money that she stole plus interest. She has already paid $33,000 towards the grand total. Police say that J.G. stole the money in the form of cash and property that belonged to the non-profit organization while serving as the organization's executive director.
