The lawsuit brought against Washington County Clerk of Courts Frank Scandale will be prosecuted by the attorney general’s office. That confirmation comes from the press secretary for Attorney General Josh Shapiro. Scandale, 51 of Canonsburg has been charged with theft, failure to make required disposition of funds received and misapplication of governmental entrusted property. All of these charges are based on missing county funds of approximately $96,000. He has entered a plea of “not guilty”. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for December.
