COPPELL, Texas (AP) - An anonymous donor has given a Dallas suburb $10,000 along with a note to cover charges on a city-issued credit belonging to a former mayor who apparently shot herself and her daughter.

Coppell (kuh-PEHL') officials made the announcement Wednesday when they released the results of an investigation that showed former mayor Jayne Peters charged more than $6,300 in personal expenses on her city credit card.

The note accompanying the donation says, "Please use these dollars to reimburse the city for any and all credit card charges of Jayne Peters, with any remainder to go to the city."

Close to $2,000 of the charges were made two weeks before Peters apparently shot herself and her 19-year-old daughter in their home. The personal items include rental car charges, gas, restaurants, clothes and groceries.
