Woman Arrested, Accused Of Embezzling From Solano Co. Parent-Teacher Club

SOLANO COUNTY, CA – Police in Vacaville this week arrested a woman in connection with embezzling approximately $23,000 from a school club.

Jennifer Lopez-Day, 42, formerly of Solano County and who now lives in San Jose, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of grand theft, according to the Vacaville Police Department.

In May, representatives from the Fairmont School Parent Teacher Club reported a volunteer board member had embezzled money from the club's bank account, police said.

Police said Lopez-Day, the club's vice president, had used club funds to make approximately $23,000 in personal purchases.

Lopez-Day was arrested by detectives to San Jose for suspected grand theft and booked into the Santa Clara County jail, police said.

PTC members are volunteers, not employees of the school district and the purpose of the Fairmont PTC is for volunteers to raise money through fundraisers and donations to provide extra support for schoolsm police said.

"It is very unfortunate (PTC members) were victims of this terrible crime," Vacaville police said.

Anyone with information related to this case can contact Detective Sampson at (707) 469-4851.
