“Theodora Ross, the former Dallas police senior corporal who ran the department’s Crime Stoppers program, was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison today for stealing at least $175,000 from the program.  Beginning in 2005 and through early 2010, Ross would give bogus tip information to an accomplice, Malva Delley, who collected cash rewards from the bank. Delley would collect the proceeds of the bogus tips and would then ‘divide the cash, per Ross’s instructions, and deliver Ross’s share of the illegally obtained money by either directly depositing cash into Ross’s Bank of America bank account or by giving cash directly to Ross.’”
