In 2018, Michael Robel, a constable in Northumberland County, was arrested for improperly using his elected position for personal profit while working as a private security guard on the Mariner East Pipeline.

Robel earned $27,995 for his work on the project and failed to report this income as required under the state’s Ethics Act.
