President of the South Fayette School District’s PTA in Pennsylvania allegedly stole $20,000 over 2 years.

Kristin Mandrick, 47, used the stolen money for utilities, medical centers, pet stores, grocery stores, and clothing storesInvestigation began after members of the PTA and the school district alerted township police to questionable withdrawals they’d discovered from the organization’s bank account. Mandrick was president of the PTA from 2014 to 2016 and then took over the role of treasurer after “she insisted on” it, according to the complaint. Other elected members told investigators that they “began experiencing difficulties with (Mandrick) not properly performing the treasurer duties” and convinced her to resign Aug. 30, 2016. Mandrick turned herself into detectives Thursday morning. She was arraigned and released on $20,000 unsecured bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 15.
