EDMONTON — An Alberta junior soccer coach believed to have vanished with thousands of dollars raised by his team’s young players has a warrant out for his arrest.
Edmonton police spokeswoman Carolin Maran says Randy Knodel has been charged with 13 counts of fraud and one count of uttering a forged document.
She says investigators are continuing their search to find the 46-year-old head coach of the Selects Football Club’s Tier 1 boys team.
Parents say the team worked to raise money for a tournament in Las Vegas but soon learned they weren’t registered for the event, hotel rooms weren’t booked and the money was gone.
