Saugus selectman facing charges of theft from nonprofit, misuse of campaign funds
A Saugus selectman is among three former
employees of the Boston Center for Adult Education facing criminal
charges for allegedly stealing over $1.7 million from the nonprofit,
Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins said Tuesday.
Mark Mitchell,
who was first elected in a special election to recall the board in 2015, was also indicted on various campaign finance charges, Rollins said in a statement.
Mitchell, 49, a former comptroller of
the center, faces a slew of charges including making false entries in
corporate books, publishing of false or exaggerated statements, common
law uttering, and four counts of larceny by scheme. He allegedly
directed over $240,000 of the center’s money to a private youth baseball
organization he runs, Saugus Wings, the statement said.
