State Police have filed charges against Washington County’s Clerk of Courts. Following a months-long investigation into the discovery of more than 96-thousand-dollars that was missing from his office, the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation has filed multiple charges, including theft, against Frank Scandale of Canonsburg. The 51-year-old is charged with a felony count of theft by failure to make required disposition of funds received, seven misdemeanor counts of theft and one count of misapplication of entrusted property, court records show. The missing money was discovered during an audit in July. County commissioners immediately turned the investigation over to State Police. Scandale was arraigned on the charges Thursday afternoon and was released on one-hundred-thousand-dollars unsecured bond. District Judge Robert Redlinger also ordered him to surrender his passport, if he has one, to the county district attorney’s office. Scandale, a Democrat who ran for re-election in November, lost to Republican Brenda Davis, a former mayor of Washington.
