Leslie was arrested by Dublin Police in July after an eight-month investigation.

Leslie is free on $20,000 bail, according to court records.

Leslie is a former board member for Dublin Partnerships in Education and former President of the Dougherty Elementary Parent Faculty Club, who had been recognized by the Dublin School Board for her volunteer work in May 2011 just two months before the embezzlement began.
