The former president of Kephart Trucking, was back in court on Wednesday on an appeal case.
According to GantDaly.com, 60 year old Tim Kephart, formerly of Morrisdale, was accused of stealing from his employees and served time in a federal prison for his involvement in a $3.6 million check-kiting scheme against a bank. In 2015, he was charged in Clearfield County with stealing money from his employees’ pensions and insurance premiums beginning as early as 2011.
On Wednesday Kephart’s new attorney argued some first-degree misdemeanors should actually have been third-degree misdemeanors because of the amount of money involved. Judge Ammerman gave the defense 75 days to provide briefs on these issues and the commonwealth 45 days after that to provide a response.
