Arlene K. Moe pleaded guilty today to one felony theft charge for embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from Gastineau Channel Little League from August 2007 to September 2008.

Moe, who moved to Anchorage shortly after her indictment in June, was accused by police of writing checks to herself worth $40,660.33 on 57 occasions while acting as the Little League’s treasurer.

Moe’s sentencing is pending, though the class C felony has a maximum sentence of five years and a presumptive sentence of zero to two. The court also ordered her to pay restitution, though the final figure has yet to be determined. Moe indicated she may dispute the police’s final tally — which may also affect her plea come sentencing.
