Knoxville Little League Treasurer Charged with First-Degree Theft

On Friday, June 12, 2026, the Knoxville Police Department received a report regarding the suspected misappropriation of funds from a bank account belonging to Knoxville Little League. 
The Knoxville Police Department subsequently initiated a comprehensive investigation into the reported financial irregularities. Through the examination of financial records and other investigative efforts, it was determined that $26,000 in funds were allegedly misappropriated from the organization's bank account. 
As a result of the investigation, Brandon Stone, a member of the Knoxville Little League Board of Directors who served as the organization's treasurer, has been charged with Theft in the First Degree, a Class C felony under lowa law. 
The Knoxville Police Department remains committed to thoroughly investigating financial crimes and holding individuals accountable through the criminal justice system, particularly when such offenses impact community organizations that serve local residents and families. A criminal charge is merely an accusation. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
