Frankfort, Ind - A former treasurer for the Clinton Central School Corporation has pleaded guilty to theft. She is accused of taking more than $13,000 from the district.
Mary Clark, of Michigantown, pleaded guilty Monday to 10 counts of theft in Clinton Circuit Court. Her arrest followed an investigation by the State Board of Accounts and the Indiana State Police. Clark is accused of making unauthorized checks to herself and her son from 2005 to 2007. Clinton County Prosecutor Tony Sommer said Clark issued checks to her son, Randall Clark, for work he didn't do and put the money in her own account.
Clark was terminated from her job when the State Board of Accounts audit was completed.
She was originally charged in September 2008 with 16 counts of forgery and 15 counts of theft. As part of a plea agreement, all but 10 counts of theft will be dismissed.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 15th. Each of the theft
charges carries a possible sentence of six months to three years in
prison.
