New Constable Funds Office Stripped Bare
William M. Detweiler, newly elected constable, found his office stripped of furniture and the bank account, about $40,000, removed by predecessor Clyde Bel Sr. Bel had run the office as a private business under a law allowing the constable to keep excess income. Detweiler plans to reopen after mortgaging his home to fund initial operations, as a new salary cap of 38500 aims to limit future payouts.
