Sheriff's office clerk under investigation

— The Lonoke County sheriff's office announced Thursday that it has asked for an Arkansas State Police investigation into "possible discrepancies concerning the fines and bond receipts and account balances."

The fines and bonds clerk, who was not named in a prepared news release, has been assigned other administrative duties pending the outcome of a state audit and state police investigation, the sheriff's office said.

"No criminal action on the part of the fines and bond clerk has been determined or confirmed," said Lt. Jim Kulesa, a spokesman for the department.

He said no other information was available Thursday.
