PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A Florida teen accused of rigging a homecoming queen election with her mother is being charged as an adult, prosecutors said. She turned 18 in April, and the State Attorney’s Office in Escambia County confirmed Tuesday that Grover will be tried as an adult. Grover and her mother, Laura Rose Carroll, 50, face multiple felony charges stemming from the October homecoming vote at Tate High School in Pensacola. Investigators found that in October, hundreds of votes for the school’s homecoming court were flagged as fraudulent, the news release said. Multiple Tate students told investigators that Grover described using her mother’s system access, or of watching her mother access records, for years, the report said.
