An assistant principal and her daughter have been arrested after authorities say they were responsible for fraudulently casting hundreds of votes for the high schoolâs homecoming court.
According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), the investigation into Laura Rose Carroll, 50, and her 17-year-old daughter, who was announced as Tate High School s Homecoming queen last October, began when the Escambia County School District in Florida contacted the FDLE to report unauthorized access into hundreds of student accounts after discovering that 117 votes for Tate High Schoolâs Homecoming Court were allegedly originating from the same IP address in a very short period of time.
On Monday, agents arrested Laura Rose Carroll, 50, and her 17-year-old daughter on multiple charges stemming from the October homecoming vote at Tate High School in Pensacola.
