The woman, Ashlee Ring, had been serving as treasurer of the district’s FFA/agriculture booster club, despite being under indictment in an unrelated felony fraud case, public records confirm.

ECISD police records show the alleged booster club theft is being investigated as a misapplication of fiduciary property between $2,500 and $30,000, a state jail felony. Oliver said via email that because the booster club is its own organization, a criminal background check was not required for its members.

LUCAS, TEXAS – An otter is on the loose in north Texas! At least, that’s what one Lucas, Texas woman says after her Ring doorbell camera captured the otter on video. Mallory from North Texas shared this with us. Perhaps it is a river otter, but unfortunately it may be an Asian Small Claw Otter pet that was lost or abandoned.
