Former Hall County juvenile court clerk accused of theft

GAINESVILLE, Ga. (FOX 5 Atlanta) - A former Hall County Juvenile Court Clerk is in jail without bond Friday night accused of stealing from her former employer.

Investigators say 36-year-old Lorena Marceleno took more than $36,000 from the court during a two-year period.

Marceleno handled deposits and accounts while working for Hall County.

And that's how authorities believe she was able to take the cash.

No one noticed the missing money until an audit after she resigned back in February.
