Leavenworth ? A Dec. 10 trial date has been scheduled for a woman accused of stealing thousands of dollars from the Leavenworth High School Football Booster Club.

Forty-four-year-old Cheri L. Harper pleaded not guilty last week in Leavenworth County District Court.

She is accused of stealing money from the parent-run Booster Club in 2007 while serving as the organization’s treasurer. She faces one count of felony theft.
