MASON — The former choir teacher at Wahama High School has been arrested for allegedly using choir booster funds for personal use.
Crystal M. Hendricks, 43, Mason has been charged with one felony count of fraudulent schemes after an investigation by the Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police.
Hendricks turned herself in on Wednesday and appeared before Mason County Magistrate Gail Roush who set her bond at $20,000. Hendricks posted this surety bond and was later released.
