WILBER, Neb. (AP) — A state audit has criticized business practices in Saline County Court, where an assistant court clerk has been charged with theft.

The audit released this week cited among other problems the lack of duty segregation, which allowed one person to handle all aspects of transaction processing.

The assistant county court clerk, 42-year-old Jodi Rezabek, is accused of fraudulently writing and depositing in her own account a $15,500 check in May. Rezabek, who lives in Tobias, has pleaded not guilty. A pretrial hearing on her case is scheduled for Dec. 8.
