An investigation found that the men were using a county credit card to pay for non-office related items and travel expenses.<\/p>\n

According to State Attorney Jack Campbell, Reams\u2019 trial date is set for May 6th. The news comes a week after the former clerk filed a motion demanding for a speedy trial.<\/p>\n

Warren \u201cCharles\u201d Culp Jr., who was a financial consultant to the clerk of court, and Justin \u201cTyler\u201d McNeill, a former deputy clerk of courts, are also facing charges in connection to the incident. <\/p>\n
