New details in a financial theft investigation at Harrisburg Area Community College.
District Attorney Ed Marsico says former HACC Executive Vice President Nancy Rockey was arrested Thursday.
She's accused of stealing $200,000 from the school.
Marsico says the 54-year-old committed the crime from 2007 to last year. Rockey used the money to pay personal bills and even buy an iPad.
“She saw an opportunity, as often as we see it in these theft cases, I'd say in the last 5 years,” Marsico told us. “We've seen more of these types of thefts of funds where someone's in a position of trust. Whether it's someone running a local Little League or someone that's working for a PTA association. We have seen a lot of these thefts and most of the time it's because the person has access.”
Rockey has been charged with theft by unlawful taking.
She was released on $250,000 unsecured bail.
Her arrest caps off an investigation that started back in July.
