DUBOIS – Former DuBois City Manager John “Herm” Suplizio and former city employee Roberta “Bobbie” Shaffer had their arraignment hearing on Tuesday, pleading not guilty.
Last month, a new indictment was filed against the pair, alleging them of stealing around $1.5 million dollars between 2008 and 2022.
On Tuesday, they were arraigned via Zoom, where both parties pleaded not guilty, requesting a jury trial.
If convicted, the duo face hefty prison time and fines for the alleged thefts.
