The president of a children’s baseball league is accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars in funds from the organization, then spending some of the cash on some very adult things.
(Think casinos, a strip club and erectile dysfunction pills.)
Steve Rodriguez Prado, 38, of Henderson, Nev., was arrested on July 2 on suspicion of theft and forgery after a board member with the Central Little League of Las Vegas reached out to police with concerns about missing money and refunds owed to parents.
Investigators surveilled Prado’s home and determined “suspicious activity” occurred between Dec. 22, 2025 and April 2026, according to the arrest report, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal .
How were the alleged stolen funds spent?
Police said Prado spent more than US$64,000 from the league in less than five months, including payments to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, a video game platform, and Geico insurance, the report stated.
The league was also charged $1,351 for a bill at the Las Toxicas strip club on Jan. 20, a visit that included an $800 bottle of Don Julio 1942, a bucket of Modelo, and a privacy fee gratuity and tip, according to police.
On Feb. 9, six transactions were made allegedly with league money at the Bellagio Baccara bar totalling $1,284, according to the report, and five days later, there were five transactions at Caesars sports book totalling $258, as well as a purchase at a cocktail lounge.
Additionally, Prado allegedly spent $294 of the league’s money on BlueChew, which police describe as “an erectile dysfunction medication” that is “not intended for juvenile consumption.”
There were also more than 70 transactions billed to the league for Uber, Lyft, Uber Eats, and electric vehicle charging, plus a purchase for a Spirit Airlines ticket.
The total billed to the league: $64,351.24.
Police allege Prado also misled the board of directors about the league’s bank account.
“Prior to Prado’s tenure ending as president of the Central Little League of Las Vegas, he provided Wells Fargo bank statements to the board,” according to the report. “Said bank statements were altered from their original form which was confirmed through grand jury subpoenas.”
The league almost had to forfeit the rest of the season after Prado left just $25 in its bank account, but several local organizations, including the Las Vegas Athletics, stepped up to help, KLAS reported.
Prado’s criminal past
Prado was convicted of robbery in Riverside County, Calif., in 2012.
“We were just devastated by the news that the league had this money embezzled,” Nevada District 2 administrator Robert Fleming, who runs the Little League teams in the Las Vegas valley, told the outlet.
“Everybody that’s involved with Little League baseball. Managers, coaches, volunteers, we all go through a national background check,” he noted. “Somehow his name went through the background check, I guess, and was approved.”
For his alleged pilfering of the league, Prado has been charged with one count of theft (ranging from $25,000 to $100,000), two counts of forgery, and one count of a convicted person failing to register with local law enforcement within 48 hours.
The now former league president is scheduled to appear in Las Vegas Justice Court on July 30.
