A San Diego-area high school football coach is accused of using his school-issued debit card at a Nevada brothel.

When Coach Dennis Houlihan went to a coach's clinic in Reno, Nev., last November, his expenses were paid by a booster club account, according to a report. The money was raised by players and students.

According to expense accounts, Houlihan withdrew almost $300 from an ATM at 9:45 p.m.

Then, less than six hours later, at 3:31 a.m., he allegedly took out another $164 from a machine located at the Kit Kat guest ranch, a legal house of prostitution located near Carson City, Nev.

District officials have launched an investigation into Houlihan's expense accounts and relieved him of his coaching duties.

According to Fallbrook Superintendent Tom Anthony, their investigation has indicated that there were "improper expenditures" but they have not determined whether the coach actually spent the money at the Kit Kat brothel.

Part of the money used by Houlihan on his trip had been raised by students, the report said. If that's the case, the money is considered public funds and is to be used only for student activities.

The sheriff's department is looking into whether the money was illegally spent.
