HOA General Manager Charged with $53K Theft for Personal Expenses
Shiesha Laquette Sparrow, the former general manager of the Lakewood Forest Homeowners Association in Cypress, Texas, has been charged with felony theft. Sparrow is accused of misappropriating over $53,000 of the HOA's funds for personal use, including DoorDash and Amazon purchases. The alleged theft was discovered in September 2025 when a new general manager took over and found unopened bank statements revealing unauthorized transactions. Sparrow reportedly used the HOA's credit cards to pay for personal expenses such as cellphone bills and home energy costs. She faces a potential prison sentence of two to ten years and a fine of up to $10,000. Sparrow is currently free on a $20,000 bond.
