Suspected fraudster now accused of stealing funds from East Central booster club
The woman, Ashlee Ring, had been serving as treasurer of the districtโs FFA/agriculture booster club, despite being under indictment in an unrelated felony fraud case, public records confirm. Ring has not been formally charged in the booster club case. โThe booster club neglected to follow best practices in accounting procedures, such as requiring two signatures for every transaction. ECISD police records show the alleged booster club theft is being investigated as a misapplication of fiduciary property between $2,500 and $30,000, a state jail felony. Oliver said via email that because the booster club is its own organization, a criminal background check was not required for its members.

Have you seen this otter? It may still be wandering around north Texas
LUCAS, TEXAS โ An otter is on the loose in north Texas! At least, thatโs what one Lucas, Texas woman says after her Ring doorbell camera captured the otter on video. Mallory from North Texas shared this with us. Perhaps it is a river otter, but unfortunately it may be an Asian Small Claw Otter pet that was lost or abandoned. Our city is only a population of about 10,000, about 12.5 square miles and for DFW, thatโs small,โ Marszalek said.
