Teacher allegedly stole tuition payments

LANCASTER, Pa. (AP) - May 27, 2009 Kenneth Umbrell, of Christiana, in Lancaster County, was an instructor in charge of the driver training program at the Lancaster County Career & Technology Center.

According to a police affidavit, Umbrell received tuition payments from students but never deposited the funds.

Last year, an auditor determined the school was missing $77,735 in tuition funds.

Umbrell waived a preliminary hearing Tuesday on 104 counts of theft by failing to make required deposits.

According to the affidavit, Umbrell was fired last fall after an unrelated incident at the school.
