More Charges Filed Against Former Cambria County Water Worker

NORTHERN CAMBRIA, Pa. —

The former head of a Cambria County water plant already fired after charges that he stole $58,000 in copper piping is now charged with embezzling $79,000 from Northern Cambria's two water authorities.

David Suchar, 49, waived his right to a preliminary hearing on both sets of charges Monday.

Suchar was fired by Northern Cambria in October when the pipe theft charges were filed. The new embezzlement charges, filed Monday, stem from a recent audit of the authority's books.

Suchar and his attorney, Thomas Dickey, have not commented on the charges.

Another worker at the same water plant, Thomas Yeckley, is charged with faking water safety tests by providing samples from the plant's sink instead of customers' faucets.
