A former South Greensburg secretary will face trial on charges of money laundering, theft, receiving stolen property and perjury concerning where he got the money for his restitution in a separate case.
The Tribune-Review reports that Dennis Kunkle Jr. is accused of lying in court about where he got $101,000 for restitution to pay South Greensburg government in connection with a case of embezzlement. Prosecutors say while he claimed he didn’t get the money from his father, whom he has power of attorney over, Kunkle actually deposited $60,000 in checks from his father’s account into his personal account to help pay the restitution.
Kunkle is back in prison on $100,000 bail and is being detained indefinitely on the previous theft case.
