Police in Floyd County, Ga. arrested 10 people Thursday as part of a racketeering scheme that investigators say embezzled $4 million from a school system over a decade.
Among those arrested was Derry Richardson, who was formerly employed as Floyd County's maintenance director. Members of Richardson's family, including his wife, brother and father were also among those arrested, along with other former school employees.
Major Jeff Jones of Floyd County police said Richardson used inflated invoices to make money, which were funneled through various sources back to the people involved, according to WSB.
