Largo, Fla. – A Largo woman was arrested by Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputies and booked in the county jail after allegedly stealing money from a women’s club nonprofit.

A women’s club reported over $160,741 stolen by their former treasurer, Sharon Brindamour.

Brindamour allegedly had access to the nonprofit’s funds from March of 2018 until June 2020.

Pinellas County investigators found that Brindamour used $127,041 at multiple casinos in Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, and even at a Harrah’s Gulf Coast Casino in Mississippi.

Key evidence linked the same amount of cash deposits into the suspect’s bank account to the withdrawn amount from the nonprofit.
