Dierks woman granted a continuance and a pre-trial date
Kaci Quinn of Dierks appeared in the Howard County Circuit Court before Judge Tom Cooper on Wednesday.
An attorney representing Quinn requested a continuance to allow Quinn to hire another attorney.
Judge Cooper granted the continuance and set a pre-trial date of December 6th and a trial date of December 12th. He also ordered Quinn to be back in court on November 15th with her attorney.
Quinn has been charged with one count of fraudulent use of a credit card or debit card more than $5,000 but less than $25,000 and one count of theft of property more than $5,000 and less than $25,000.
Quinn has been accused of embezzling funds from the Dierks Booster Club, while she was serving as the club treasurer from January 2022 until January 2023. The missing funds were discovered in January and an investigation was initiated by a special agent with the Arkansas State Police.
According to the affidavit, booster club funds were being transferred to the personal account of Kaci Quinn. Those funds were being used to pay Quinn’s personal credit card bills. Funds were also used to purchase personal items from Amazon, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and other department stores. Some of the items allegedly purchased were baby formula, baby clothing and beer.
