Aug. 29 trial date set for Dierks woman accused of $52k Booster Club theft

A pre-trial hearing is scheduled next week for the former bookkeeper of the Dierks Booster Club accused of stealing over $52,000 from the organization.
According to records with the Howard County Circuit Court, 39-year-old Kacie Nicole Quinn of Dierks is set to appear for the hearing on Aug. 9. If she maintains her plea of not guilty, a jury trial is currently scheduled for Aug. 29.

Quinn has been charged with a single count of theft of property in addition to two counts of fraudulent use of a credit/debit card. Quinn is accused of stealing more than $52,000 over the course of a year from the Dierks Booster Club.

An investigation by the Dierks Police Department earlier this year determined funds were missing from the Dierks Booster Club. The Arkansas State Police was then called in to assist in the investigation. Authorities eventually tied the missing funds to Quinn, who is alleged to have transferred them to her personal account. Items purchased with the funds allegedly include beer, a personal massager and baby clothes.

All in all, the stolen funds amounted to around $52,000. Quinn is alleged to have stolen the funds between the summer of 2022 until the investigation earlier this year. The stolen funds were initially raised by the Dierks Booster Club through various fundraising efforts.
