Allegations of grand theft and fraud have surfaced against a longtime former principal of St. Coleman Catholic School in Pompano Beach, who investigators say stole hundreds of thousands of dollars over several years.

Police report details alleged fraud

According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, Lori Ann St. Thomas "over the course of 9 years systematically and ongoing received unauthorized extra pay totaling $238,196."

However, a conflicting court filing claims the alleged fraud happened over a four-year period. The police report states plainly, "The extra pay was not authorized."

In response, an attorney for St. Thomas issued a statement: "We have no official comment, but I would caution you not to rely on the erroneous probable causes affidavit as other news reports have done."
