David Stackhouse is a former Sun Prarie School Board President, and for nearly a decade, was the president of the Sun Prairie Youth Football Program. A program for kids from 5th to 8th grade.

Now, Stackhouse is charged with embezzling more than ten thousand dollars from the program. Records show he spent registration fees on everything from big items like his personal property taxes to things like crab cakes, and cheese cake from Sam's Club.

The complaint says, Stackhouse's colleagues became suspiscious in late 2007. When he wouldn't let them see the football program's finances, a year later they voted him out of office, and Stackhouse immediately resigned.

They say he turned over a financial report that had a lot of missing information. The investigation started more than three years ago, Stackhouse has since moved to Pennsylvania.

Online Sun Praire Youth Football acknowledges the charges against Stackhouse, and says, "Since discovering the loss, the board has been working diligently to improve the program and make it the best possible experience for you and your athlete."

No one else is suspected to be involved in this embezzlement case. Stackhouse faces one felony count of theft, if convicted. The faces up to 10 years in prison and a twenty five thousand dollar fine.

The former Sun Prairie School Board president was charged Monday in Dane County Circuit Court with theft in a business setting of more than $10,000 in connection with unauthorized checks written from the Sun Prairie Youth Football booster club checking account.

According to the criminal complaint, David A. Stackhouse, who currently resides in Pennsylvania, allegedly wrote $10,254.90 in checks from the booster club's checking account from July 21, 2003 to Nov. 7, 2008.

The complaint states that transactions made in the account corresponded to Stackhouse's payments for property taxes; his WIAA officials licenses; purchases from Sam's Club in Madison and other items that were not authorized by Sun Prairie Youth Football. The complaint states Stackhouse served as director and president of the organization from 1999 until roughly November 2007, then resigned when he was not elected president on Nov. 6, 2008.
