Ex-principal indicted in schemes to steal from Md. school

BALTIMORE (AP) — Prosecutors say a former Baltimore high school principal indicted in schemes to steal from her school made dozens of ATM withdrawals from a school account at a casino.

The state prosecutor’s office announced Monday that a grand jury returned indictments charging Leslie Lewis, the former principal of Baltimore Community High School, with theft, misappropriation by a fiduciary and conspiracy. Albert Fluker, a former teacher at the school, is also charged with theft and conspiracy.

Prosecutors say Lewis stole more than $13,000 from an account she set up for the school, making 49 ATM withdrawals at Maryland Live Casino. Prosecutors allege that Lewis also used deceptive purchase orders to steal more than $40,000 in technology. Prosecutors allege that Lewis and Fluker worked together to steal four televisions from the school.
