WARRICK COUNTY, IN — A trial date has been set for former Warrick County Commissioner Marlin Weisheit, who faces allegations of unauthorized financial transactions involving the county’s health department. The trial is scheduled to begin on July 8, 2025.
Weisheit, who served as a county commissioner, is accused of using an unauthorized signature to transfer thousands of dollars from the health department’s funds. The alleged act has raised concerns about improper handling of public money, sparking a legal investigation into the matter.
In the case, local commissioners have asserted that the incident was the result of an administrative error, rather than intentional wrongdoing. However, the court will determine whether Weisheit’s actions were indeed a mistake or a violation of public trust.
The trial will be held as a bench trial, meaning it will be heard and decided by a judge rather than a jury. This decision could have significant implications for both Weisheit and the future governance of Warrick County.
As the trial date approaches, the community and stakeholders will be watching closely for further developments in this high-profile case.
