APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Former Kaukauna Youth Baseball Association coach Kevin Doszak was convicted Thursday of destroying the security camera inside a concession stand, with restitution expected to be ordered for stealing from concession stand safes.
Doszak, 48, pleaded no contest to one count of criminal damage to property. Eight other counts – burglary and theft – were dismissed but can be considered by Judge Emily Lonergan at the Oct. 10 sentencing.
According to defense attorney Nila Robinson, the state will recommend probation, six months in jail, and $5,000 in restitution, while the defense can argue for whatever sentence it deems appropriate.
According to the criminal complaint: “Kevin did not have permission to enter the building(s) from Kaukauna Youth Baseball (KYB) representatives when there were no baseball games being played and to steal money. Kevin was stealing money when there was nobody else at the baseball diamonds; sometimes at night and sometimes at odd times in the morning hours when Kevin knew nobody was going to be there.”
The complaint lists several incidents recorded on security camera in June, 2023, when Doszak allegedly took between $40 and $165 in six different incidents at Horseshoe Park and Riverside Park. However, the total amount may be much more than that.
“KYB is down approximately $2967.25 on average compared to concession sales the last two years. Kevin is still suspected of stealing money from the original complaint where approximately $3000 – $4000 was reported missing from the tournament weekend of June 10th – 11th,” the complaint states.
When confronted by police, Doszak said he stole money to pay bills, and wanted to pay it back. He admitted to stealing a total of about $600-$700, the complaint states.
