AMBRIDGE, Pa. — New charges were filed Wednesday against the suspended Ambridge police chief.
James Mann is facing six new charges including threats, improper influence, obstruction of law, retaliation and official oppression. Three of those are felonies.
Investigators said the new charges were filed after a forensic audit showed issues with his timekeeping.
The audit allegedly showed Mann claimed $67,000 in pay, which he should have never received.
