SAULT STE. MARIE, MI— The former president, treasurer, and coach of Soo Area Little League has been sentenced for taking money from the nonprofit.
Matthew Hudecek, 48, pleaded guilty to embezzlement by an agent/trustee of $1,000 or more but less than $20,000.
From 2022 to 2024, Hudecek took more than $46,000 from the organization. Michigan State Police say he deposited Little League funds into his personal bank account, forged the signatures of other board members on checks that he put into his bank account, and established a PayPal account that directed payments intended for the organization into his personal account.
Hudecek was sentenced Tuesday to 11 months in jail, the maximum term under his sentencing guidelines.
