The chief financial officer for a Shelby County agency is accused of stealing nearly $200,000 to fund cosmetic surgery, a Florida vacation and more.

Cindy Massey, 65, of Pell City, served as CFO for The Arc of Shelby County, an advocacy agency for child and adults with developmental disabilities.

Massey was booked into the Shelby County Jail this week on a theft of property charge and released the same day after posting a $30,000 bond.

According to charging documents, Massey was issued a company credit card, and later several replacement cards – as CFO of The Arc of Shelby County.

“The cards were only to be used for business purposes and it was her responsibility as CFO to ensure the cards were used appropriately,’’ the complaint state.

From May 1, 2022, through Aug. 15, 2023, Massey and her 36-year-old daughter, Jennifer Massey, each used the cards to make hundreds of purchases in St. Clair, Shelby, and Jefferson counties, as well as over the internet, and in Florida, records state.

Those purchases included rent on a personal residence, car payments, car repairs, veterinary services, at least one Florida vacation, cosmetic surgery procedures, inmate phone credits at the Shelby County Jail and internet purchases delivered to Pelham.

Massey then used her position as CFO to use Arc’s funds to pay the credit bills, according to the complaint.

Jennifer Massey is also charged with theft of property but has not yet been taken into custody. She is also charged with probation violation for a previous identity theft conviction.
