RIVERTON, Neb. (AP) — A former Riverton village clerk has been charged with theft after authorities say she stole almost $16,000 from the village in 2013 and 2014.

31-year-old Kelly Jackson faces up to four years in prison if she’s convicted.

According to court documents, an audit by the Nebraska State Auditor’s office alleges that Jackson paid herself $15,830 more than her monthly approved income of $400.

Several former and current board members told investigators that a village official signed blank checks so Jackson could pay city bills. Officials say that Jackson instead wrote checks to herself.

Jackson is free on $2,500 cash bond. Her arraignment is set for Monday in Franklin County Court.
