The head baseball coach for Walker High School was arrested for allegedly misusing school funds.

According to the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office, head coach Nicholas Scelfo is accused of submitting multiple invoices for reimbursement on equipment that he purchased for the baseball program. The total amount that was reimbursed was over 29K.

At the end of the 2024 season Walker High conducted an equipment inventory which led to the discovery that the equipment bought never existed, deputies said.

After determining the invoices were fraudulent the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office arrested Scelfo for violation of felony theft and excess of 25K.

Reimbursing that much is insane. That should be approved purchase orders

I believe he was at Catholic PC last year. Saw them play at Opelousas Catholic. Had a good squad. He had a decent first season on the 5A level.

Such a low upside and dumb crime it makes you wonder about the motive. Did he need money quick and did it in 2/3 bulk ones or was this a long drawn out process death by a (29)thousand cuts?

Wonder if he can account for the 29k, even if he doesn’t have it anymore.

But maybe it’s all a big misunderstanding idk, should be an interesting case to follow if it goes to trial

Do you have to use the word “allegedly” like the news does? I think we all know that 99% of arrested people are guilty as hell.
