A South Beloit woman is accused of embezzling thousands of dollars from a Beloit-based youth hockey nonprofit.

Prosecutors say officials from the nonprofit provided evidence of payments to the Illinois Department of Revenue and a mortgage company made with the group’s bank account while 44-year-old Tamara Evans was the group’s treasurer and had sole access to the account.

The group also provided a list of checks Evans allegedly wrote out to herself from the group’s checking account totaling more than $10,000. Investigators subpoenaed Evans’ Venmo records that showed nearly $5,000 in transfers from the nonprofit’s Venmo handle to her personal bank account.

There was another $2,500 in checks made out to the nonprofit that were in Evans’ account.

Altogether, minus $6,800 in cash that Evans had to pay back to the nonprofit’s account, prosecutors say she stole more than $15,000 from the club.

Evans has a court date scheduled Jan. 28.
