I love waking up to Google alerts, especially when I learn that I’m a felon.

Former Greer High School PTSA Treasurer Indicted

A former P-T-S-A treasurer was indicted on “breach of trust” charges Tuesday.

Melinda Roberts was arrested in October after Greer High School’s “Parent Teacher Student Association” president filed a complaint with the Greer Police Department. According to the incident report filed on August 13, 2007, President Jill Schneider believed Roberts had used up to $24,000 of the organization’s money for her own use. The incident report says $10,899.45 was unaccounted for and missing. It alleged the money misuse occured between August 2006 and May 2007.

Marcia Barker of the Greenville County Solicitor’s Office confirms Tuesday’s indictment alleges that Roberts was entrusted with more than $5,000 and that she did “feloniously convert and appropriate such property to her own use and purposes, with intent to permanently deprive the owner thereof.”

I think we’d all know if I had that $24,000, because then I’d be halfway SANE.

But only halfway.
