LINCOLN- Under state law, public officials are prohibited from using public resources for campaign purposes, but three Nebraska law enforcement officials agreed to pay fines after doing just that.

Seward County Sheriff Michael Vance, Lincoln County Sheriff Jerome Kramer, and York County Sheriff's Captain Joshua Gillespie were all ordered to pay $1,000 after the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure office found them guilty of appearing in television ads.

In January, York County Sheriff Paul Vrbka agreed to pay a $1,000 fine following his appearance in a television ad for Falls City businessman and gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster, who was running against Governor Jim Pillen.

The three law enforcement officials who were ordered to pay fines on Friday appeared in the same advertisement as Vrbka.
