The Washington County District Attorney’s Office says it is investigating reports of embezzlement within the largest youth football league in Pennsylvania. Initially, the complaint, by the Western Pennsylvania Youth Football League (WPYFL) was handed over to the Greene County Regional Police Force, but it has since been turned over to the district attorney. Officials say they began the investigation after financial discrepancies were noticed when they began receiving fraud alerts on their account. The league’s director, Bill Spencer, has stepped down, submitting his letter of resignation. While no charges have been filed yet, Spencer reportedly admitted to a mistake. According to records from an emergency meeting held this week, some representatives expected the account balance to be around $300,000, but suspect it might only hold between $170,000 and $200,000. The account was frozen, but the league says they have since gained access to it. Funds in the account, accumulated through team fundraising and game gate fees, are intended for organizing special games for children from kindergarten to sixth grade and covering referee costs. During the meeting, Jared Lowe was appointed as the acting director of the organization. A new treasurer was also appointed. Individual team accounts remain unaffected by the situation. The WPYFL currently consists of 44 member organizations, 138 teams that represent 43 different school districts in seven Southwestern Pennsylvania counties covering 3,061 square miles.
