Robert WatkinsPennsylvania state police arrested Robert Watkins, a social studies teacher and wrestling coach at Towanda Area Junior-Senior High School, who has been charged with two counts of forgery and one count of theft totaling nearly $20,000 from the Towanda Youth Wrestling Club.
The alleged incidents took place between March 2016 and November 2017.
WNEP-TV reported that arrest papers stated the president of the youth wrestling club told state police money was missing, and someone was forging the president's name. Troopers say that man was Watkins.
Court papers indicate that Watkins, 46, wrote a check from the wrestling club for $9,600 to repay a loan he took from his personal retirement fund. Another check for almost $2,000 went toward a new sink being installed at a club. In addition, state troopers said Watkins also took thousands of dollars through a series of ATM withdrawals.
