Back in March, the New Richmond Junior Lions Football posted a statement on social media after the discovery of suspected misappropriation of organized funds.
They said that the board immediately acted. They removed the board member and reported the incident to the police.
“NRJLF is implementing stronger financial oversight policies and internal controls to prevent issues like this from occurring in the future,” the social media post said.
The organization did not name Williams or anyone else directly involved.
New Richmond Police said that the case is now in the hands of the county prosecutor’s office.
