Marysville ? A former northeastern Kansas county prosecutor has pleaded no contest to stealing more than $70,000 from a church.

Brian Carroll entered the plea Tuesday in Marshall County District Court. The judge pronounced Carroll guilty and set scheduling for Nov. 22.

Carroll was charged in June with felony theft. He was accused of misappropriating funds from Marysville Berean Church between August 2006 and 2010 while serving as the church treasurer.

Carroll resigned as Marshall County attorney in August to take a job as a trust officer with a bank in Pratt. He had served as prosecutor for several years.

The theft case was prosecuted by the Kansas attorney general’s office.
