In Boynton Beach, Florida, the Palm Beach Post reports:

• A former treasurer of a Boynton Beach homeowner’s association admitted Tuesday [June 6] that he embezzled over $50,000 from the HOA, court records show.
  
  Norman Glavas, 70, of Boynton Beach, pleaded guilty to one charge of grand theft over $20,000 and will serve 10 months in jail, 70 months of probation and repay $48,179.26 in restitution to the Quail Run Homeowner Association. Glavas committed the crime from 2012 to 2014.
  
  According to his plea agreement, Glavas will return $31,000 to the association immediately in a lump sum payment through a trust controlled by his attorney. He will make $300 payments monthly to pay back the remaining amount after completing his jail sentence, and must remain employed until the entirety of the restitution is paid.
