Virginia Beach, Va. – A Navy wife is admitting she stole from the Navy SEAL Foundation when she worked there handling payments, but her lawyer is keeping the details of the crime secret.

Tammy Marie Mason will be sentenced for embezzlement next month. Her court file discloses only that she stole more than $200 from the charity that benefits the families of fallen Navy SEALs. A document outlining the facts of the crime has been sealed at the defense attorney’s request, said a spokeswoman for the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.

The charity’s top executive told NewsChannel 3 the loss was around $100,000. Robin King, the foundation’s CEO, said Mason had a charity credit card. Mason’s online resume shows she started working for the charity in 2010, handling checks and credit accounts. For most of 2013, King says the Navy wife used the card for personal purchases. King said she discovered the theft when she was reconciling credit accounts.
