Baton Rouge woman accused of stealing over $40K from youth football group

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested a woman accused of stealing thousands of dollars from a youth football organization.

Heather Hinton, 43, of Baton Rouge, was charged with illegal transmission of monetary funds, bank fraud, and theft over $25,000.

According to APSO, deputies from the Office of Financial Crimes Unit began investigating Hinton on Aug. 9 after being contacted.

Hinton was identified as the treasurer for the St. Amant Junior Gators. She allegedly stole $42,000 and reportedly used the money for personal expenses, ATM transactions, and gift card purchases.

The Baton Rouge woman turned herself in on Tuesday and was booked into the Ascension Parish Jail.

“The South Louisiana Youth Football Association says current raffles and fundraisers are not impacted by the fraud,” the sheriff’s office said.
