BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. – A Bloomfield Hills man who used to be president of the Oakland Hills Caddie Scholarship Fund has been arrested for embezzling nearly $700,000 from the trust for his own personal use, according to officials.
Oakland Hills officials requested a forensic audit, which revealed $697,000 had been embezzled and converted for Maass’ personal use, police said.
Maass was arraigned Friday at 48th District Court on six counts of embezzlement by a fiduciary over $100,000.
The Oakland Hills Caddie Scholarship Trust has awarded more than $1 million to caddies to help with their education over the last 40 years, officials said.
The fund raises money through donations from members of the Oakland Hills Country Club.
