The former president of Helping Hands for a Better Community, a not-for-profit organization created to help women recover from drug addiction, helped himself to $6,733.86, according to a probable cause statement filed Friday in McDonald County Circuit Court.
A new member of the Helping Hands for a Better Community Board tipped off the Anderson Police Department July 8 that theft had taken place, providing receipts of transactions that had been completed "by Casey and 'presidents' and founders of the organization."
Financial reports for the organization provided to the police by Arvest Bank showed $6,733.86 in funds that were not accounted for, including "purchases to Grand Lake Casino, Town and Country and various gas stations and grocery stores," between October 2024 and April 2025, according to the probable cause statement.
The statement includes information the police received in an interview with Daniels' wife, Latasha Daniels, in which she said her husband and president and in charge of finances until the beginning of March 2025 when she took over.
An earlier paragraph has a woman telling the police that she used "approximately $3,000 of funds for non-organization personal purchases.

Another non-profit that was embezzled from - Casey Morris Daniels, will just be able to pay a fine, pay restitution, and get back on the streets, since our worthless judges and prosecutors, fail to see the importance of holding criminals accountable for their actions - giving them slaps on the wrists just like the many criminals that have stolen from non-profits in Newton and Jasper counties too.
What's next for this guy? A job as a pharmacy tech handling all the drugs?
Only if he's turned his life around!
"Daniels, in which she said her husband and president and in charge of finances"....is a stroke inducing statement.
