Santa Barbara County, CA –
A former board member of the Lompoc Little League has been arrested on suspicion of
embezzling thousands of dollars from the organization following a year-long
investigation.
Things began to unravel for 57-year-old Lompoc resident Stephanie Kay Greco exactly
one year ago when, on December 20, 2023, a representative of the Lompoc Little
League contacted detectives at the Lompoc Police Department reporting a potential
fraud involving over $100,000. According to Lompoc Police Department spokesman
Cpl. David Magana, the report indicated “missing funds between 2020 and 2022” at the
hands of “the acting treasurer.”
Pursuant to the December 2023 report, Lompoc Little League provided police with
“months of bank statements and transaction records.” After a thorough investigation of
those records lasting many month that confirmed the embezzlement of “several
thousand dollars,” Lompoc Police Department detectives obtained a search warrant for
the residence, vehicle, and person of Greco.
Detectives arrived at Greco’s home on the morning of December 21, 2024—exactly one
year after the initial police report—and took her into custody. She was transported to
Lompoc City Jail, where she is currently being held in custody with her bail set at
$100,000.
