ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A Tarpon Springs woman is back behind bars after she was accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from homeowners associations in the Tampa Bay area.
Jamie Fonville, 47, was arrested in June 2022 after she was accused of stealing over $228,000 from three HOAs while working as an accounting manager at First Choice Association Management. Her job duties included managing bank accounts for 58 organizations and issuing checks on their behalf, according to a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
On Tuesday, she was arrested by the sheriff’s office again after she was accused of pocketing over $521,000 in checks and credit card payments from 13 organizations, bringing the total alleged loss to over $750,000.
Most of the new charges against Fonville are for crimes that occurred before her June 2022 arrest, but a PCSO arrest report noted that she allegedly made at least two additional fraudulent payments less than two months later.
