EUGENE, Ore. – A Springfield man has been arrested for allegedly embezzling approximately $50,000 from a Bethel-area youth football league while serving as its treasurer.
Ean Douglas Lynum, 38, was taken into custody on Sept. 10 following an investigation by the Eugene Police Department’s Property and Financial Crimes Unit. He faces charges of first-degree aggravated theft and misapplication of entrusted property.
Police said the theft drained the league’s entire fund balance, leaving the youth participants without money for essential gear and equipment.
Due to Lynum’s involvement in other local sports programs, investigators believe there could be additional unreported incidents.
