A Washington County man is facing charges after he allegedly stole over $130,000 from a club’s game of chance machines.

Timothy Hoffman, 63, from California, is charged with several theft by deception charges.

According to the criminal complaint, officers were called to a report of a theft at the Young Men’s Club.

Club officers told police that Hoffman, who was a member, was in charge of removing the money from the machines and was shorting them.

Court documents said Hoffman reportedly stole $53,037 in 2021, $32,329 in 2022, $41,785 in 2023 and $5,898 for one month in 2024.
