Lowell booster club treasurer charged with embezzlement in Michigan

FROM WZZM13.COM  -


The former treasurer of the Lowell Area Schools Athletic Boosters is facing charges for stealing more than $98,000 from the club.

The Grand Rapids Press is reporting Carrie Fisher, 39, admitted to police that she began taking the money in 2008, shortly after she became treasurer. She left her position as treasurer early this year.
Investigators say Fisher forged the name of the club's president on checks she wrote to herself and her company.
The club discovered the missing funds in an audit done last March and contacted police.

Fisher appeared in 63rd District Court in Grand Haven Township on Wednesday. She is charged with embezzlement of more than $50,000, forgery, and using a computer to commit a crime
