FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – A parent volunteer who stole almost $300,000 from the Mansfield Youth Baseball Association (MYBA) was sentenced to 8 years in prison, and restitution payments.

Jennifer Sue Witteveen, 52, of Arlington first began volunteering for the non-profit association when her child was playing baseball with MYBA. As the association’s treasurer, between January 2012 and July 2018 she illegally used her access to make unauthorized cash withdrawals and write fraudulent checks, which eventually added up to more than $295,000.
