A former treasurer of the White House Blue Devil Quarterback Club has been indicted after a Tennessee Comptroller’s Office investigation found she misappropriated club funds.
Amber Michele Burton resigned as the club’s treasurer in May 2025 after complaints were made following a club fundraiser that month.
The Quarterback Club is a school support organization led by parents and volunteers to support the White House High School football program.
Investigators determined Burton misappropriated club money through Venmo between January 2024 and June 2025. The investigation found she transferred money from the club’s Venmo account to her personal account, used club funds to make a personal purchase and kept football fees that had been paid directly into her personal Venmo account.
Burton repaid $3,583.74 of the misappropriated funds in June 2025 and May 2026. As of July 1, 2026, $2,028.70 remained unrecovered.
The Sumner County Grand Jury indicted Burton in September 2026 on one count of theft over $2,500 and one count of money laundering.
Tennessee Comptroller Jason Mumpower said school support organizations raise money for students and that those funds must be protected.
The Comptroller’s Office also said no single person should control collections, deposits, payments and recordkeeping, and that organizations must follow proper procedures when providing salary supplements to school employees.
