Former AG Agent Charged with Theft in Pennsylvania
Brenda D. Sawyer, 61, has been arrested for allegedly stealing $121,000 from the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office and $52,650 from the McKeesport NAACP, where she previously served as president. The former regional director of the Bureau of Narcotics Investigation is charged with multiple felonies, including theft and forgery, following an investigation that began after discrepancies in agency funds were discovered after her retirement in February. While serving as the police chief of the McKeesport Area School District, Sawyer was placed on unpaid leave after the charges were made public. Investigators allege that Sawyer misappropriated funds intended for undercover drug investigations, and that she created a fraudulent account to withdraw money from the NAACP. Despite a search warrant being executed at her home earlier, she remained in her position until her arrest. Sawyer is currently held in Westmoreland County Prison with bail set at $100,000, and her preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 13.
