BAY VILLAGE, Ohio -- A 41-year-old treasurer of a girls softball club is accused of stealing money from the organization.

Patrick McGuire wrote checks to himself from the club's bank account worth $9,342 over the course of three years, according to a criminal complaint filed in Rocky River Municipal Court.

The club's board members started to suspect that he was stealing from the club in September 2014 and went to the Bay Village Police Department, police said.

Officers spent the next several months investigating McGuire, police said. He was officially charged with felony theft and possessing criminal tools April 13 and turned himself in to police April 16, court records said.

McGuire posted bond on Wednesday and was released. An arraignment is scheduled for May 14.

A representative of the softball club did not immediately respond to a voicemail seeking comment. The group organizes softball leagues for area girls in elementary and middle school.
