Jacksonville Suns group sales director arrested in fraud case - Florida Times-Union
The 36-year-old former director of group sales for the Jacksonville Suns was arrested Thursday on a charge of grand theft after a team check for $2,375 was deposited in a private bank account, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Police said Putt began advising team sponsors and other customers to make out their checks to her attention, meaning her name and the Suns appeared on checks. In mid-May, Pavilion Plaza Pharmacy sent the Suns a check as partial payment for their team sponsorship, made payable to the team and to the attention of Putt. After receiving the check, something was used to remove the Suns name from it, leaving only Putt’s name, the arrest report said. The check was deposited into Putt’s personal account, which she said was done “at least three other times, if not more,” the report said. Beginning with 2009 as an intern, she rose to group sales manager in 2010 and then director of group sales in 2011. “Someday I’d like to be a minor league general manager, or maybe a lobbyist for a baseball organization,” she said at the time.
