Maryland Woman Pleads Guilty to Stealing $238,000 and Tax Fraud

A 46-year-old Pasadena, MD, woman has pled guilty to stealing over $238,000 from a local youth athletic organization and failed to report the stolen funds on her Maryland income tax return.

According to Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown, Kelley Ann Haley, the former treasurer of the Pasadena Buccaneers Athletic Club in Anne Arundel County, misappropriated $238,452 from the organization between 2019 and 2024.

Haley neglected to record the stolen monies as income, leaving $4,625.69 in unpaid state income taxes.

On October 30, Haley pled guilty in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court to willfully submitting a false Maryland income tax return and engaging in a felony larceny conspiracy totaling $100,000.

The Maryland Office of the Comptroller conducted the tax fraud investigation, while the Anne Arundel County Police Department looked into the theft.

Haley is set to be sentenced in both trials on December 17, 2026. The delinquent taxes remain owed to the state.
