Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico told abc27 news that John Barrick is accused of misusing money meant for scholarships. Barrick allegedly received $7,230 meant for students, but spent some of the money on himself.
The scholarship money was intended for the Peter Serrano Volleyball Scholarship Fund, named for a 2001 graduate and volleyball player who was killed outside a bar in State College in 2003.
The purpose of the fund was to award four senior volleyball payers with a $1,000 scholarship to be used for college, but police believe Barrick, who was in charge of managing the fund, spent $5,750 in scholarship money on his and his wife's monthly living expenses.
According to police, Barrick said he spent the rest of the missing money - $1,480 - on entrance fees for his players to participate in men's volleyball leagues. He faces a felony theft charge.
