Ind. Courts - "Former Martinsville city court clerk charged in missing money case"

The long story today ($$), reported by Keith Rhoades, in the Bloomington Herald-Times begins:

MARTINSVILLE — After a nine-month investigation, a special prosecutor has filed charges against former Martinsville City Court Clerk Cathy Neal.

According to court records filed Monday in Morgan County Superior Court III, Neal is charged with failure to deposit public funds, a class D felony, and conversion, a class A misdemeanor. Judge Jane Craney found there to be probable cause for the case to be filed against Neal.

Later in the story:
According to the [state board of accounts] audit, on March 23, Neal went to Ralph Foley and Peden, who are partners in a law firm where Neal was employed as a full-time employee, and admitted she had taken money from city court.
