A former golf pro has been arrested in connection with a major embezzlement case involving nearly $150,000 at Elkhorn Golf Club in Stockton, California.According to a report from Golf Week, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation in November 2024 after the club reported a significant financial discrepancy. During the investigation, detectives uncovered approximately $147,000 in missing cash deposits made between 2022 and 2024.Authorities identified 44-year-old Mykal Parsons as the suspect. At the time of the alleged embezzlement, Parsons worked as a golf professional at Elkhorn Golf Club. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was taken into custody by property crimes detectives on May 8. He was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail on charges of grand theft and embezzlement.Parsons' arrest came on the same day as Joseph Smith, the former executive director of First Tee of San Joaquin, who is facing accusations of embezzling $90,000 from the youth-focused nonprofit based in Stockton. As of May 23, officials had not confirmed whether the two cases are connected. Sheriff’s spokesperson Heather Brent said no link could yet be verified.“This case represents a significant breach of trust, and our office is committed to holding those who exploit their positions for personal gain accountable. We will pursue justice to ensure the victims are heard and restitution is sought," said San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas via Golf Week.Parsons appeared in court on May 21 and is set to return on June 11 at 8:30 a.m. ET in Department 8C.
