OKLAHOMA CITY -- More than a year after the Kay County District Attorney realized tens of thousands of dollars were missing from his office safe, there are new details out regarding the man accused of embezzling those funds.

"When we went into the safe to retrieve that money which is kept in a sealed envelope, it was gone, which in turn lead to an immediate researching of that item, which in turn lead to 11 other envelopes that were missing," said Mark Gibson, Kay County District Attorney back in 2008.

Former First Assistant District Attorney William Clark has been indicted for taking more than $36,000 out of the safe.

A multicounty grand jury also said part of $18,000 seized during a gambling raid was never turned in.

An investigation also showed Clark only filed 67 forfeiture cases in four years, while the person who took the job after him filed 73 cases in five months.
