The former treasurer of a Girl Scout troop stole $9,800 from the group and spent some of it on a dating service for seniors, police say.

Darlene Jo Lewis allegedly stole the four-figure sum from Georgia's Girl Scout Troop 798 in Douglasville, which her daughter attended.
Police in Douglasville, GA, where she was the troop's treasurer from 2010-2012, believe that the loss of money means the Scout troop will now have to close.

Lewis, 49, who was arrested on Friday, is said to have spent the money on gifts, on her son, and also on a dating service for seniors.
Lewis faces felony theft by taking charges and is being held at the Douglas County Jail.
