BATON ROUGE — A now-fired employee of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame Foundation stole more than $125,000 from the foundation between 2023 and 2024, an audit released Monday says.
According to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor's report, the foundation's management discovered that an employee had misappropriated $127,490 over the course of two years.
The employee was subsequently fired and paid the money back to the foundation in 2025.
"As a result, the Foundation did not incur a net financial loss related to the misappropriation," the audit says.
The foundation, the audit notes, chose not to pursue legal action.
Following the incident, the foundation "evaluated and strengthened certain internal control procedures designed to prevent and detect similar occurrences in the future."
