LAS VEGAS (AP) - A court clerk says a fugitive former city controller of Mapleton, Utah, agreed not to fight her return in custody to Utah to face a felony theft charge.

Jeannie Bell waived extradition Thursday in a Las Vegas court and was returned to the Clark County jail to await transfer. She was arrested Monday at a Las Vegas Strip hotel.

A Fourth District Court judge in Provo, Utah, issued a warrant for the 48-year-old former city financial official a week ago, after she failed to appear for arraignment on a second-degree theft charge.

Bell resigned June 1 after a Utah County sheriff's investigation accused her of using city funds to buy stamps and gift cards, selling them on eBay, and keeping proceeds for herself.
