Allegations of theft resulted in the resignation Monday of a clerk in Kosciusko Superior Court III. Jalaine M.Brumfield, 42, of 1403 Alpha St., Warsaw, was arrested on a Class D felony charge of theft and booked into Kosciusko County Jail Wednesday.She was later released on her own recognizance. Brumfield allegedly stole more than $2,000 since Jan.9, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed Tuesday in Kosciusko Superior Court. The investigation began last Friday when a woman called the clerk's office complaining that her driver's license was suspended.The woman told Kosciusko County Clerk Marsha McSherry that she paid her fine with a money order in June, but her license was suspended anyway. When McSherry investigated the matter, she allegedly found the ticket folder in a drawer of Brumfield's desk, according to court documents.The folder contained an envelope filed June 22, but no money order and no receipt was found for the woman.
