SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY
An accountant charged with stealing money from his clients has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
Carl Quinlan faces 39 charges of theft. Investigators say he took money from tax returns that should have gone to his clients. They say he took tax refund money as well as economic stimulus checks.
A spokesperson for the Lackawanna County District Attorney's Office says that negotiations are going on with Quinlan's attorney that could lead to a plea agreement in the case.
The DA's Office is also working with the IRS which is conducting its own investigation. There is no word if that probe could lead to federal charges against Quinlan. | |
