LOUISVILLE — A grand jury in Louisville has indicted a former public school principal and a bookkeeper with stealing funds.

The Courier-Journal reported the indictments handed up Wednesday against Adrian Sanford, who was the principal at Dixie Elementary School, and Toneke Bullitt, who kept the school’s books.

Both are charged with theft by unlawful taking, tampering with physical evidence, fraudulent use of a credit card and abuse of public trust.

The charges come after school officials’ own investigation revealed about $69,000 in payments from school funds could not be substantiated.

The newspaper said Sanford referred questions to his attorney John Stewart, who could not be reached.

Bullitt could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
