A Dec. 10 trial date has been scheduled for a woman accused of
stealing thousands of dollars from the Leavenworth High School
Football Booster Club.
Forty-four-year-old Cheri L. Harper pleaded not guilty this past
week in Leavenworth County District Court.
She is accused of stealing money from the parent-run Booster Club in
2007 while serving as the organization's treasurer. She faces one
count of felony theft.
Keith Melick testified during her preliminary hearing that he was
serving as president of the Booster Club at the same time Harper
served as treasurer.
He testified Harper was asked to turn over financial records for the
club after it was learned a check from the organization didn't clear.
