Former Club President Holdings Bank Account Hostage For Over 18 Months.

I am a volunteer leader with a 4-H Club. In June of 2023 our former president retired from the club. She had sole access to the club’s bank account. When she left she gave the checkbook and bank card to our County Agent. We don’t know how much was in the account for sure but it’s probably between $2,000-$3,000. She has held the account hostage. We never saw any treasury reports nor did she send the bank records for the club to our main office. She left no PIN number and as she was the only signatory on the account, so we cannot sign any checks. We have made many good faith efforts to try and contact this person but she will not respond. Yes, we’ve asked the bank and our county agent for help and there is nothing we can do at this time without her collaborating with us.

Is this illegal? I’d love to file a police report.

TL;dr: ex club president is holding all club monies hostage and refuses to allow the money for the current club.
