Authorities: Accounting manager used stolen funds for Bucs tickets, groceries

A Pinellas County woman has been charged in a theft case where authorities contend she used some of the ill-gotten gains, more than $225,000, to buy Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets, among other expenditures.

Jamie Fonville, 46, of Tarpon Springs, has been charged with three counts of felony scheme to defraud, according to a statement from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. The office’s economic crimes unit alleges Fonville, in her role as accounting manager for First Choice Association Management, “manufactured fraudulent checks using the account information from three different homeowner associations.” Fonville, officials contend, “then deposited the checks into her own personal bank account.”
