The former head of a Harrisburg security officers union
is facing federal wire fraud charges on accusations he stole nearly $67,000 of
his union's money.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle
District of Pennsylvania, Howard Royal, 50, of Steelton, made fraudulent,
unauthorized electronic transfers of $66,989.02 from the United Government
Security Officers of America Local 304 to himself.
The union represents security officers in state
government agencies in Pennsylvania.
The charges stem from the 11 months Royal held office at
the union, from December 2009 to November 2010.
Royal faces a maximum of 20 years in jail and a $250,000
fine under a guilty plea agreement that requires approval of the federal court.
The agreement also includes full restitution of the money.
