Former Miami-Dade School Board Vice Chair Lubby Navarro was arrested Thursday morning. State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said Thursday afternoon that Navarro, 49, made more than $100,000 in unauthorized purchases on her district credit cards for personal items. Navarro was booked on charges of organized fraud of $50,000 or more, organized fraud of $20,000 or less. She was being held on a $2 million bond.

Investigators found that she made purchases at stores like Walmart, TJ Maxx, Party City, Office Depot and more, buying items like appliances, beauty products, food, household goods, 178 gift cards and more, Fernandez Rundle said. She also accused of spending money on personal travel and related expenses, including a trip with her mother to the Dominican Republic and a trip with her then-boyfriend to Las Vegas.
