Hockey mom accused of embezzlement - 500K

Hockey mom accused of embezzlement

PHOENIX - A former acting treasurer for the Arizona High School Hockey Association has been arrested for allegedly embezzling at least $500,000 from the group.

Phoenix police say 47-year-old Mary Ann Williams was booked into jail Tuesday on charges of theft, fraud and forgery.

Police say Williams began volunteering for the northeast Phoenix organization in 2003 when her son began playing hockey. They say an investigation into Williams began six months ago when the association contacted police about concerns she was stealing money.

Police say it appears Williams began embezzling money from the organization in 2005 and continued until she was removed from the acting treasurer's post earlier this year. She is accused of issuing checks to herself and to personal debtors, making electronic payments from the association's bank account and using its debit card for personal purchases.

It was unclear Wednesday whether Williams had hired a lawyer.
