According to court documents, Haeck is accused of stealing $12,351.41. He is charged with theft as a Class D felony.
Haeck retired from the Marshall County Highway Department in May of 2014 after working with the county for 34 years. He served as the highway superintendent from April 2000 until his retirement.
