The treasurer of a New York police charity is accused of stealing more than $400,000 that was meant for families of slain officers so she could pay for Barbra Streisand tickets and her grandchild's private school tuition.
Lorraine Shanley, 68, was charged on Thursday with bank fraud and aggravated identity theft for allegedly stealing funds from the Survivors of the Shield charity.
The charity provides funds to the families of officers who are killed in the line of duty.
Shanley, who was the non-profit's volunteer treasurer for seven years, is accused of using $410,000 worth of donations to fund her lifestyle.

Shanley also allegedly wrote at least $45,000 in checks that she could deposit into her own accounts, paid about $29,000 for her grandchild's private school tuition and spent $63,000 on her son's criminal legal expenses.
In addition, she is accused of spending approximately $32,000 on dental expenses and $25,000 on landscaping at her Staten Island home.
The amount that Shanley is accused of stealing totaled about 20 percent of the charity's donations, according to court documents.
About 99 percent of the donations the charity receive comes from NYPD employees.
Prosecutors said Shanley was an authorized signatory on the charity's bank account and credit card but she used those funds to benefit herself and her family.
She was caught when a new volunteer reviewed the charity's tax returns and records in an effort to modernize the non-profit's operations.

Shanley surrendered on Thursday morning and was due to face Manhattan Federal Court later in the afternoon.
She is charged with one count of bank fraud, which carries a 30 year maximum sentence, and one count of aggravated identity theft, which carries a two year sentence.
'Lorraine Shanley allegedly capitalized on tragedy and monetized people's generosity,' U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said.
'As alleged, Shanley stole over 20 percent of the donations to a charity whose sole mission is to help the families of NYPD officers killed in the line of duty.
'Thanks to the investigative work of the IRS and special agents from our Office, Shanley will be prosecuted for her actions.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
