A member of the Fairfax County School Board in Virginia has been sued by a local flight school on accusations that he embezzled $175,000 from the company for personal expenses.
The lawsuit filed against Kyle McDaniel, also a secretary and treasurer of the flight school Blue Label Aviation, alleges he used a company credit card for entertainment, personal expenses and campaign-related expenses, according to Fox 5 DC.
McDaniel was caught and paid some of the money back, but then continued to embezzle more funds, the lawsuit alleges.
He is accused of embezzling $175,000 from the flight school and spending the money on strip clubs, family vacations and other luxuries and using the money to subsidize his campaign for office.

Fairfax County Public Schools said it has been made aware of a civil lawsuit against McDaniel.
“We understand that this is an ongoing business and legal dispute. We respect the legal process and will refrain from commenting further at this time,” the district said in a statement to Fox 5 DC.
