The criminal case against a former Detroit Public Schools high school principal accused of theft was dismissed last week, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office confirmed today.
Technical Center, had been charged with one count of embezzlement by a public official over $50.00 and one count of embezzlement by an agent or trustee $1,000 or more but less than $20,000.
Prosecutor Kym Worthy and Robert Bobb, the DPS emergency financial manager, in August publicly announced the charges against Miller as well as charges against the school's former bookkeeper and two others associated with the bookkeeper.
The other three individuals were accused of charging goods and mortgage payments worth nearly $150,000 to school credit cards and bank accounts. Those cases are pending and scheduled to go to trial in April.
Miller was accused of stealing $1,447 worth of goods, specifically of using school funds and employees to install a heater in her home and obtaining merchandise from the school's boutique. She reimbursed DPS during the investigation and prior to the charges being filed.
Wayne County Circuit Judge Michael Callahan dismissed the case against Miller on Friday, but the prosecutor plans to appeal, said Maria Miller a spokesman for Worthy.
