WYLIE, Texas — John Freeman, 37, a former treasurer for a North Texas youth soccer organization, was arrested and charged on May 12 after allegedly stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Wylie Youth Soccer Association (WYSA).
The Wylie Police Department stated that Freeman, a Midlothian resident, was charged with theft of property exceeding $300,000. His arrest followed an investigation that began on January 27, when WYSA reported unusual transactions in their QuickBooks account.
The investigation led to an audit of the association’s financial records, which uncovered numerous unauthorized transactions from October 2019 to August 2024. The documents revealed that Freeman had removed substantial amounts of money from the association’s account.
After reviewing all the documents, police obtained an arrest warrant for Freeman. He was taken into custody without incident and is currently being held at the Wylie Jail.
