Band booster steals nearly $50,000 from Alvarado High School club, police say
Over the last two years, a woman appointed to keep track of the money for a North Texas high school band booster club stole nearly $50,000, police say.
Kirsten Meyer, 38, confessed to police that she spent the Alvarado High School band booster club's money on personal items and bills, according to KXAS-TV (NBC5). The club's former treasurer said she began taking money in 2015.

Meyer faces one charge of theft from a nonprofit, a second-degree felony.
