ST. PETERSBURG — A Tarpon Springs woman is back behind bars after she was
accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from homeowners
associations in the Tampa Bay area.
Jamie Fonville, 47, was arrested in June 2022 after she was accused of stealing
over $228,000 from three HOAs while working as an accounting manager at First
Choice Association Management. Her job duties included managing bank accounts
for 58 organizations and issuing checks on their behalf, according to a Pinellas
County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
On Tuesday, she was arrested by the sheriff’s office again after she was accused
of pocketing over $521,000 in checks and credit card payments from 13
organizations, bringing the total alleged loss to over $750,000.
Most of the new charges against Fonville are for crimes that occurred before her
June 2022 arrest, but a PCSO arrest report noted that she allegedly made at
least two additional fraudulent payments less than two months later.
Here are the new charges against Fonville, including the alleged victims and
total loss, according to PCSO:
