NACOGDOCHES, Texas (AP) - The district court clerk for Nacogdoches County has been charged with felony theft by a public service.

Donna Phillips was arrested Thursday, was arraigned and freed on $8,500 bond.

The Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel reports the arrest affidavit says Phillips is accused of taking nearly $16,000 last year from the child support account she oversees.

The affidavit says some child support payments made in the office were never deposited into the official account.
