TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A Terre Haute attorney is charged with theft in connection with a 2009 bankruptcy case.

According to court documents, Mark Watson was representing a man in a bankruptcy case.

Police believe Watson deposited three money orders into his own bank account, even though they were meant for his client, Frank Beasley.

Those money orders were worth $1,500 total.

Investigators say Watson has since paid back all of the money.

Watson is charged with one felony count of theft.
