NEW WARDEN AT WESTMORELAND COUNTY JAIL COULD BE HIRED AS SOON AS FEBRUARY

Westmoreland County officials are continuing efforts to hire a new warden for the county jail.  The Trib reports that Commissioners said during a jail board meeting on Monday that a new warden could be hired as soon as February.  The former warden, Bryan Kline, resigned back in September amid concerns about the county jail that included personnel issues and a critical state inspection.  Kline said he resigned to focus on his academic studies.  Five people have applied for the job.
