St. Louis prosecutors on Thursday said a charter school employee stole more than $100,000 from school accounts and used it to buy a BMW, fancy clothes, hotel stays and airline flights.

Eric C. Griffin, an assistant office manager of the Ethel Hedgeman Lyle Academy on Washington Avenue, cashed checks for as much as $18,000 between November and April, prosecutors said.

"We have just been doing everything that we were supposed to do," the school's principal, D'Anne Tombs-Shelton, said Thursday.

"It was shocking," Tombs-Shelton said. "This guy went to church."

1. I love how everyone assumes....

That you'd automatically go up in a puff of smoke or something if you'd walk into a church having done something like that :eyes:

Anyone can go sit in a church. It does not force them to abide by the beliefs of the church!

And back to the story, that is terrible. If there's that much extra money around, improve/expand the school with it, punks.
