DA: Somerset Woman Stole $34K from Athletic Club to Pay Mortgage
SOMERSET — A Somerset woman is being charged with stealing over $30,000 from a high school athletics organization.
The Bristol County District Attorney's Office issued a complaint Thursday morning against Dulce Pacheco, 51, of Somerset, charging her with one count of larceny over $1,200 by single scheme.
Gregg Miliote, the spokesman for the Bristol County District Attorney's Office, says Pacheco is alleged to have stolen $34,500 in December 2017 from the Somerset Berkley Regional High School Athletics Booster Club. Pacheco was the treasurer of the organization.
Pacheco is alleged to have used the cash to pay the mortgage on her home.
Miliote says the investigation into the alleged theft began in December 2018 after the Somerset Police Department became aware of "talk" of the supposed crime. Somerset Police referred the matter to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office. Michael Scott, Chief of the Financial Crimes Unit of the DA's Office, investigated the allegations with the assistance of the School Resource Officer assigned to Somerset Berkley Regional High School, James Roberts.
Pacheco will be summonsed to appear in Fall River District Court on March 18 for arraignment on the single charge.
