According to NCSO, Metzger made several withdrawals from the Tonopah High School Rodeo Club’s bank account over the last year and used the money for personal use.

In December, she was confronted by the club’s secretary and Metzger claimed that her daughter grabbed the wrong card and that she would pay the money back. According to NCSO, since then no conversations and no attempts have been made to pay the money back.

Metzger was arrested and booked into the Nye County Detention Center.
