2—The Daily Collegian
Former PSU official pleads guilty to theft
By COURTNEY CAIRNS
Collegian Staff Writer
The former head of the Office of Business
Services pleaded guilty last month to theft by
deception and now awaits sentencing while free
on bail.
D. Lewis Mothersbaugh was charged with
stealing $22,932.13 from the University during
the last five years money his attorney said
paid for company picnics. Mothersbaugh offi
cially resigned Nov. 17 from his duties as
assistant vice president for business services
after working 32 years at the University.
Sentencing should take place around Feb. 1,
said Mothersbaugh's attorney, Robert Mitinger.
He said he could not predict the judge's deci
sion but hopes the sentence will be lenient.

"I would prefer that he be on probation,"
Mitinger said. "He's already made reimburse
ments."
But Centre County District Attorney Ray
Gricar will ask the judge to sentence Moth
ersbaugh to state prison. He did not say how
many years Mothersbaugh might be in prison,
but stressed it would be the state, not the
county, prison.
Eight current and four former employees
allegedly contributed to $9,693.05 in false
accounts. No one else has been charged yet, but
Gricar said, "Somebody will be."
Gricar would not comment whether Gregory
A. Ingram, the former director of business
services who was allegedly involved, would be
charged. Ingram resigned two days after
Mothersbaugh.

is anxious to move forward, said Bill Mahon,
director of public information. "The University
felt that everything had been satisfied and
restitutions had been made," Mahon said. He
would not comment on Gricar's request to send
Mothersbaugh to prison.
Undergraduate Student Government Presi
dent Chris Saunders said imprisoning Moth
ersbaugh seemed a little extreme. "I think
losing his job is punishment enough, consid
ering he was only trying to improve the Uni
versity," Saunders said.
"Did he do it so he could take his kids to
Europe? No. He did it to keep morale up,"
Saunders said, referring to the employee pic
nics.
Mothersbaugh could not be reached for
comment and his wife would not comment on
the case.

original completion date had been
set for spring of that year, before
being pushed back.
Although the November comple
tion date did not change because of
Lott's lawsuit, the suit did cause a
temporary delay.
Commonwealth Court Judge
Charles Lord had the department
allow Lott to resubmit the bid and
correct the errors. The suit was
resolved Nov. 18, said Lott's attor
ney, Henry J. Costa Jr.
