COLUMBUS, Ohio — State Rep. Sandra Williams, a Cleveland Democrat, has acknowledged she will appear in court here Friday on two misdemeanor charges.

Williams declined to say what the charges involved, as they are still being formalized, but it's believed they're related to using campaign funds for personal use.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien stated in an email that he expects to file the charges Thursday morning.

In an interview, Williams said she wasn't yet sure how she intends to plead to the charges, but she admitted to making errors.

"We screwed up. And I'm truly sorry for it," she said in the interview. "We've corrected everything, and it will definitely never happen again."

Williams, 46, is running for state Senate after serving eight years in the Ohio House.

A second Ohio House Democrat, Rep. Dale Mallory of Cincinnati, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Franklin County Common Pleas Court to charges that he wrongfully accepted NFL tickets from lobbyists.
