Darrell Demond Arline (37, Pearland) was Goodwill’s program manager for U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) grants.
 
Between Jan. 3, 2013 and Aug. 28, 2014, Arline and his friend, 37-year-old Aaron Matthew Pierce (who received a 6-month sentence) of Houston, entered into a conspiracy to steal money from the grant by submitting fraudulent purchase orders resulting in the theft of grant monies. The SSVF grants were intended to provide supportive services to very low-income military veteran families who were residing in permanent housing, were homeless and scheduled to become residents of permanent housing within 90 days and after exiting permanent housing or were seeking other housing that was responsive to such very low-income military veteran family’s needs.
 
Arline was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison. He had previously pled guilty to all counts as charged - conspiracy to commit wire fraud and 14 counts of wire fraud.
 
Arline was further ordered to pay $316,512.13 in restitution.

Yep. Sadly, the penalties for those type crimes aren't very harsh.
