Jose Sotillo, the former manager of the renowned Suburban Swim Center, didn't have much of a strategy for covering his tracks, according to Delaware County District Attorney G. Michael Green.
He simply dived into the swim club's bank account and drained it of more than $100,000, leaving the Newtown Square nonprofit belly up, Green said.
Sotillo, 33, of Pottstown, was arrested yesterday and charged with felony theft and related counts for allegedly writing dozens of checks to himself and to JB International, an Internet marketing company that he owned.
"He was hired because he was an excellent coach, that's why he was brought into this program," Green said of Sotillo, who was named aquatics director and manager in 2006 and later was appointed to the center's board of directors.
