Harry McKinney – Chester County Sheriff’s Office

Former Deputy Harry McKinney was charged alongside Sheriff Carolyn Welsh for theft and diversion of services. McKinney used over $4,000 of funds raised for the K-9 unit to cover expenses for a personal pet that was not a working canine. He also benefited from compensatory time awarded for volunteer work at private charity events, leading to paid time off at the county’s expense. McKinney pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of Theft of Services and Theft by Unlawful Taking in March 2021.
