A former treasurer of a homeowners’ association has pleaded guilty to an embezzlement charge.

Kevin Douglas Harris, who is accused of using some of the embezzled money to buy golf equipment, will be sentenced next month.

Got this from a weblog by Ward Lucas, who has a new book coming out called Neighbors at War: The Creepy Case Against Your Homeowner Association. That book link didn't go anywhere for me, but it may be an "under construction" page that you can check out soon.

Thanks to Fred Pilot for the link to Lucas' blog.

$6,000? That's chump change. Any self-respecting management company could easily take far more than that in a year. Heck, they don't even have to openly embezzle. The management company can simply contract on behalf of the HOA with vendors that are subsidiaries of the management company or sister subsidiaries to the management company. Everything "looks" on the up and up.
