HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) – A former city of Huntsville employee, Heather Spier, has been indicted on charges of first-degree theft for allegedly embezzling approximately $73,000 from the Huntsville Eastern League. The indictment follows an investigation into her actions involving the funds intended to support the youth sports league.
While the Huntsville Eastern League is not directly managed by the city, the city provides financial stipends to assist with costs, which led to Spier’s involvement. However, the specifics of her role in the city or the league have not been disclosed by city or league officials.
Spier is scheduled to stand trial next June for her alleged actions. She is currently free on bond while awaiting trial.
