An arrest warrant has been issued for DeAndre Forney, a former Akron City Council candidate, charging theft in a June 30 incident involving the LeBron James Family Foundation.
Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards said Monday that Forney, 25, is accused of posing as an employee of the foundation and putting it $12,818 in debt.
The money was owed to vendors and others for what Forney said was a LeBron James Family Foundation event at Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Edwards said.
The complaint was filed by Jacquelyn Nance, director of the foundation, and the warrant was issued Sept. 4, Edwards said.
Forney lost the Democratic primary for the Ward 4 council seat in September by three votes to the incumbent, Renee Greene.

Im sure it's all a misunderstanding and it will be cleared up momentary. I sincerely hope the Beacon jumped the gun in reporting this story.
