Man arrested for theft of youth league funds, detective seeking tips
On September 10, Eugene Police Property and Financial Crimes Unit arrested a 38-year-old Springfield man after an investigation into theft of a local youth football league's entire fund balance. The theft of an estimated $50,000, heavily impacted a Bethel area league, leaving no money for proper gear for the youth participants. At the time, the suspect, Ean Douglas Lynum, was the treasurer of the league. Lynum is being charged with Aggravated Theft in the First Degree and Misapplication of Entrusted Property - Embezzle
Because Lynum has been involved in other sports programs, the detective assigned the case is reaching out to the public for tips in the event there are any other cases that have not been reported. Anyone who has additional information for this case is asked to contact Detective Chris White, 541.682.5376, or [email protected].
