‘92 Olympic Track Coach Held in Fraud : Probe: She and three others are charged with financial wrongdoing at Prairie View A&M; University in Texas.

The woman chosen to head the U.S. women’s track team for the 1992 Olympics and three other people have been arrested in an investigation of alleged financial wrongdoing at Prairie View A&M; University.

Those arrested Tuesday were Prairie View Athletic Director Barbara Jacket, former Athletic Director Brutus Jackson, men’s track Coach Hoover J. Wright and Harris County Deputy Constable James B. (Tiny) Andrews.

All four were released from Waller County Jail on Tuesday after posting bond.

Jacket, 54, recently was chosen to head the U.S. women’s track team for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.

The four face misdemeanor and felony charges ranging from official misconduct to theft, bribery and forgery. The charges stem from a nine-month investigation into allegations that more than $100,000 may be missing from the athletic department’s coffers.

The charges against Jacket accuse her of altering receipts submitted with athletic department travel vouchers. She is charged with two counts of official misconduct and 13 counts of securing execution of a document by deception, involving travel vouchers from mid-1987 through early 1989. She was released on bonds totaling $41,000, authorities said.

Jacket, who lives in Prairie View and has been with the university since 1964, is accused of altering restaurant receipts to increase the amount the university reimbursed her, special prosecutor A. M. (Buddy) McCaig Jr. said.

Officials of the U.S. Olympic Committee declined comment on her arrest, the Houston Chronicle reported.

Indictments against four others, two of them out of state, remained sealed late Tuesday as authorities tried to locate them.
