Casselberry police arrested a volunteer accused of stealing money from a Little League team.

Detectives said Patricia Penn stole $8,000. She ran concessions for the team and admitted to stealing the funds and maxing out the league's credit card at Sam's Club.

Penn said she used the money to buy fuel for her cars. 

"It put us in a bind. We don't even have enough money to stock concessions yet this year, so we've had to postpone the season, that type of thing. It was a lot of hurt, a lot of shock, and a lot of dismay," Casselberry Little League President Darrin Sink said.

Phone calls to Penn were unsuccessful. She resigned from the Little League team.
