According to KTBS, Brandon Terrell Lewis, a former Caddo school system employee, is being accused of stealing more than a quarter million dollars. He is currently awaiting prosecution on theft and forgery charges.

Someone tipped off the Caddo Sheriff's Office about a business credit card being used to buy personal items: gift cards, car parts and building materials.

A legislative auditor says that the school system could have caught on if they were keeping track of spending. The auditor also found that the thefts took place between September 2014 to October 2016.

The school board has since filed a claim with its insurance to try to recover the money Lewis is accused of stealing.
