Ex-PennDOT Supervisor Charged
A former PennDOT supervisor in Coudersport has been charged with theft for, among other things, using state money to buy personal items.
48-year-old Timothy Brem of St. Marys has been charged with several counts of theft along with tampering with public records and receiving stolen property. In all, he's been charged with 20 counts.
Police say Brem was initially caught buying tires for his personal truck using state money. This prompted an internal investigation by the state Comptroller that included a complete review of records that Brem would keep or authorize.
According to court documents, Brem forged other employees' names on requisition sheets to order personal items for himself. He submitted forms to have equipment dismantled as junk then would take the items. And, he took items from PennDOT surplus for himself.
Brem's bail was set at $40,000. He left his job in 2007 after the initial discovery in the investigation.
