Embezzlement

A 53-year-old Virginia Beach karate studio owner has been sentenced to jail for embezzling money from a charitable organization he helped build.

At his trial, prosecutors said the man pocketed money from the sale of bingo cards on at least two occasions in 2006.

In 2000, the school owner helped start the group, which teaches martial arts to underprivileged children and adults. The man volunteered to sell bingo cards and supplies. The proceeds were to pay member schools for training students.
