Louis Freund, the former treasurer of Toms River Cub Scout Pack 57, was charged with theft following an investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

According to a statement from Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer, Detective Denis Mitchell conducted an investigation and discovered that Freund used $4,275 entrusted to him from the Cub Scout’s account “for personal use and outside the parameters authorized by Cub Scouts.”

Freund was issued a summons and released, consistent with the state’s bail reform law, and is required to answer at a date to be set by the court.
