Former Big Sun Youth Soccer treasurer charged with fraud

Former Big Sun Youth Soccer treasurer charged with fraud
Almost $80,000 allegedly misappropriated
BY MABEL PEREZ
Star-Banner
OCALA – A former board member and treasurer of the non-profit Big Sun Youth Soccer League was arrested and charged Monday with swindling more than $50,000 from the organization.
Priscilla Annette Bellcase, 40, has been under investigation since Aug. 3 for allegedly misappropriating at least $79,000 from Big Sun. The Ocala Police Department began investigating Bellcase when another former board member, Jeffrey Kilpatrick, reported that a large sum of money was missing from the organization's bank account.
“I think several people suspected because as treasurer she wasn’t turning in reports at the monthly meetings… She always had an excuse,” said the league’s current president Brian Behan. “She wasn’t turning sheets over to them. She wasn’t turning in the statements.”
Bellcase, 3415 W. Anthony Road, could not be reached for comment Monday. According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office website, Bellcase was released from jail after posting a $1,000 cash bond.
In an August interview with the Star-Banner, Kilpatrick said when he learned Big Sun was past due on some bills he got concerned. Another red flag was that the organization’s bank account was changed several times.
Behan said Monday that although the non-profit league’s finances were in shambles, community support has been strong.
“We had people calling us, asking us ‘how can we help.' There were financial contributions that came in,” Behan said.
The president said the league has been able to recoup and make payment arrangements with their debtors.
“Money was taken from kids and their families,” Behan said. “The greed that came out of this is just like a disease. It’s sad it happened."
Field Marshal Terry Says "Thanks"

Terry Desin is our Man with a plan. He's out there every Saturday bright and early preping the fields for safety and keeping them clean of debris. Terry also has been a big help getting nets in shape, putting saftey fences and sponsor signs up.
Terry would like to thank all of you who are helping keep our facility clean. "The garbage on the ground has be a lot less these last few weeks" Terry said and added "Make sure you tell all the folks I appreciate their efforts!"
So keep up the good work and lets keep our complex clean.
