According to KLTV, a man has pleaded guilty to stealing money from the Trinidad Independent School District and using it for trips to the Walt Disney World Resort and Disney spending sprees.
What’s Happening:
- 38-year-old Brandon Delane Looney pleaded guilty to theft from a program receiving federal funds while serving as business manager for Trinidad ISD.
- According to court documents, he “embezzled more than $300,000 between 2017 and 2023 while working for Trinidad ISD in Henderson County. Looney used the funds for trips to Walt Disney World and spending sprees at The Disney Store.”
- Looney could face up to ten years in federal prison. He could also receive a potential fund and mandatory restitution to Trinidad ISD for what he stole.
