According to federal investigators, he was stealing from the organization for more than four years, writing himself 132 checks from its bank account. Agents said he deposited more than $136,000 into his personal account and two accounts for a flower shop he owned.
Many people said they knew Stevenson as the nice man who owned Lunden's Flower Shop in Brownsville.
