Charges Tossed in Newtown FedEx Case

Haven't confirmed it yet, but Newtown Township Supervisor George Wood called to tell me that the theft charges against him and George Clement and Marie Richards have all been thrown out by Springfield District Justice Anthony Scanlon.

Wood had been charged with misappropriating a lousy $21 to the township's FedEx account for personal use, Richards, $32 and Clement $90.76.

Scanlon dimissed the charges against all three of them, Wood said.

I asked him if he had any comment about it.

"Nope," he said. "I'm still hesitant to say anything. Only that it's bittersweet... It's sweet that it's over, but bitter that it happened."

Charges against township secretary Gwen Toyzer for allegedly stealing more than $1,000 from the account, have yet to be resolved.
