Harrisonburg Treasurer Rebecca Neal returned to work Wednesday, after turning herself into the Rockingham County Jail.

Neal was indicted Tuesday on 20 counts that include misappropriating thousands of dollars of public funds.

While people may be wondering why she was back to work managing public funds after the indictment for mishandling that money, members of the Treasurers' Association of Virginia say if Neal is convicted she'll be kicked out of office by law.

For now, the only people she reports to is the voters, and they're the only ones who could stop her from working.

"There is a code section that allows voters to petition the circuit court to remove an elected official, and that's if neglect to duty, misuse of office or incompetence could materially adversely effect the conduct of the office," says Kevin Appel, Legal Council for the Treasurers' Association of Virginia.

The investigation into Neal's work is ongoing and officials say there could be further charges. Her next court date is scheduled for March 20.
