WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — The former president of the David Crockett High School (DCHS) Football and Wrestling Booster Clubs has been indicted, the Tennesse Comptroller’s Office announced Friday.

An investigation into the club started after school officials reported questionable transactions between January 2023 and January 2024.

Investigators determined that the club’s president, Leigh-Anna Clark, reportedly misappropriated at least $8,501.79 from the booster clubs; $5,402.37 from the wrestling club and $3,099.42 from the football club.

According to the comptroller’s office, Clark made personal retail purchases, such as a washing machine, hotel stay, furniture, clothing, dinner items and home decorations.

Clark also allegedly used wrestling club funds to pay personal bills and withdrew $3,000 in cash from the football club account, which remains unaccounted for.

“Investigators have also questioned an additional $11,560.91 in purchases that Clark made using booster club funds that did not have sufficient supporting documentation,” a news release from the comptroller’s office stated. “Investigators could not determine if these purchases benefited the clubs.”

Clark also reportedly issued two worthless checks and fabricated bank and organizational documents.

In January 2025, Clark was indicted by a Washington County Grand Jury on two counts of theft of property of $2,500 or more and one count of forgery, the comptroller’s office reported.

“This investigation shows how important it is for school support organizations, such as booster clubs, to follow state law requiring them to set up accounting controls to ensure all funds are used appropriately,” Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury Jason Mumpower said in the news release. “Among the issues in this case, the booster clubs failed to maintain accurate records and also failed to conduct regular meetings to discuss financial transactions.”
