The Pensacola, Florida high school homecoming queen did not contest the charges and completed a supervised program, the completion of which saw them dropped.
But after losing her place at university over the incident, the teen has now said she is going to sue the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and her public school system for false arrest and violating her civil rights.
Emily had a full scholarship to the University of Western Florida but the offer was taken back by the university after the ‘homecoming heist’ scandal broke last year.

Her mum, Laura Carroll, 50, was also arrested and subsequently lost her job as an elementary school vice principal.
At the time Carroll had access to student’s records across the whole school board area, including the highschool attended by her daughter.
The system contains information about students' grades, medical histories, test scores, attendance, disciplinary actions, personnel information, emergency contacts, schedules, and student ID numbers. It was linked to an application called Election runner, with which students could cast their votes for homecoming queen.

School pals of Emily told reporters at the time that she had long bragged of being able to access records and see their grades.
'I have known that Emily Grover logs into her mom's school account in order to access grades and test scores since freshman year,' one student said in a statement to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Emily's mom, Laura Carroll, a former vice principal, was also arrested for her alleged part in the scheme

'She looks up all of our group of friends' grades and makes comments about how she can find our test scores all of the time.'
Another said, 'She did not seem like logging in was a big deal and was very comfortable doing so.'
Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents discovered evidence of unauthorised access to student information via Carroll's administrator account. Ultimately, investigators discovered that Carroll had accessed 372 high school records since 2019, 339 of which were Tate students.
