A former Sandy Springs principal who resigned after an audit showed that he used an American Express card linked to his school to make personal purchases is facing criminal charges.
Eddie Echols , who left Riverwood International Charter School in September, is facing charges of theft, identity theft and credit card fraud.
School officials said he turned himself into Fulton County police about a month ago after police continued their investigation into the incident.
At the time of his resignation, there was no evidence that Echols stole money, said Samantha Evans, spokeswoman for Fulton Schools.
