A former Virginia Beach city leader accused of embezzlement appeared in circuit court on Monday.
Warren Harris, who once served as Director of Economic Development for the city, faces 14 felony charges and is accused of misusing city funds for personal use.
Harris turned himself in last week and was released on a $10,000 bond.
On Monday, Harris said he was not ready to name an attorney yet, because he was waiting for a release of funds.
Additionally, Judge Leslie L. Lilley recused himself. Judge James Clayton Lewis stepped in and will preside over the case.
Judge Lewis told Harris he had until December 23 to name an attorney.
