Less than two months after he was suspended with pay, a northern Dauphin County police chief was accused Monday of stealing money seized in drug busts and failing to indicate a prior arrest on an official form.
Lykens Chief Chris W.R. Wade was charged with two counts of theft and one count of unsworn falsification, according to a statement issued by District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr.
Wade also was notified Friday that he is now suspended without pay, borough solicitor Joseph Kerwin said Monday night. The Borough Council plans to discuss Wade's employment status.
Marsico said county detectives began investigating after the Lykens Police Department announced results of a wide-ranging drug-trafficking case last summer.
"The district attorney's office learned that no arrests were made as a result of a particular drug investigation," Marsico said. "No evidence, including drugs, was ever forwarded to the district attorney's office and no monies seized in the investigation were ever forwarded to the district attorney's office as required by law."
Investigators found some of the confiscated money in a pair of boxes in a children's bedroom closet in Wade's home, Marsico said. Investigators could not locate $3,080 from one drug seizure and $200 from another, Marsico said.
Additionally, Marsico said detectives discovered that Wade had indicated on a form for the Municipal Police Officers Education and Training Commission that he had never been arrested, although he had been arrested by the Berks County district attorney's office.

Sodomsky said there was an incident in Berks County in 2000 in which his client was investigated by the district attorney's office, but he said he could not recall the particulars.
"There was a matter in which he was accused previously," Sodomsky said. "He was not only acquitted, but his record was expunged."
Efforts to reach Lykens Borough Council members for comment were unsuccessful.
Dauphin County Court records show Wade, who was hired as Lykens' chief in January 2005, has made 43 arrests in the last two years. While most were for drug charges, that figure includes misdemeanors and traffic violations.
In June, Wade announced the arrests of 20 adults and one juvenile on drug charges. But at the end of the investigation, he had filed charges against only seven people, and only two of them were arrested within the time frame of the purported raids.
"Twenty-one people were taken into custody at that point in time, sir," Wade told The Patriot-News last month, when the investigation was first reported. "I don't know what you're digging for because I don't see what you're making reference to."
"Just because charges haven't been filed doesn't mean they won't be filed," Wade said at the time. "I know that we make impactive arrests and we proceed forward with the charges. I think you're digging a path. You're trying to create a story around something that's not going to evolve."

In Huntington Park, California, a police officer working in a federal drug task force was arrested for cultivating informants to help him identify and rob drug dealers and sell their wares. Huntington Park Police Sgt. Alvaro Murillo, 44, even tried to rob an undercover DEA agent posing as a dealer, the federal indictment alleges. Murillo and one of his informants face one count each of conspiracy to possess cocaine and marijuana with the intent to distribute.
A federal judge decided to free 15 men from prison because their convictions were based on testimony of a government informant who lied on the witness stand and framed innocent people.
Collectively, the men have served at least 30 years behind bars…
The case is a blow to the federal justice system, which relies heavily on informant-based testimony, lawyers said. The men, some with no prior run-ins with the law, were given long prison sentences based almost exclusively on the word of informant Jerrell Bray and Lee Lucas, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent who supervised Bray.
You couldn't design a more efficient system for collecting innocent people and tossing them behind bars.
The 15 innocent people that will now be set free are incredibly lucky (if you wanna call it that) that the people who set them up happened to be exposed as serial liars. That is really the only thing you can hope for when your conviction resulted from a conspiracy made up by snitches and dirty drug cops.
