SEMINOLE, Fla. — Deputies have arrested a woman they say stole thousands of dollars from a Pinellas County high school's booster club when serving as its treasurer.
From February 2019 to April 2021, authorities say 46-year-old Elise Minzer served as treasurer for the Seminole High School football booster club. After her departure, the school administration reportedly notified police that around $15,000 was missing from the booster's bank account.
Detectives say, during their investigation, they discovered Minzer had applied for and was assigned a debit card for the booster account. They say debit cards are against the high school's policy.
