Edmond Santa Fe Cheer Club President Accused Of Embezzlement

Her son is the starting quarterback for Edmond Santa Fe High School football team. News 9 just received the search warrant that was filed by Edmond police on Thursday, on the bank account Torre opened for the Edmond cheer booster club.

The DA's office will have to decide what charges, if any, will be filed against her. According to police records, Torre became the cheer booster club president last year and opened up a bank account in the club's name. Her name was the only one listed on the account.

She is accused of using a debit card to make payments to many places in the shopping strip near the apartment complex where she and her family live. They include expenditures to places like Louie's, the Donut Nest and several other fast food restaurants and stores.
