A 47-year-old former Old Lycoming Township employee has been arrested on charges of stealing $40,000 last year, Lycoming Regional Police Department said.

Angela Sarah Reome faces charges in connection with the theft of township funds during her employment with the township, police said.

At the beginning of November 2025, the township manager requested investigative assistance regarding potential financial irregularities involving a former employee.

Det. Jordan Mahosky was assigned to the case and initiated a review of township payroll and financial records.

The investigation determined that Reome was hired in March 2024 as an administrative assistant and later promoted to assistant bookkeeper.

Following the resignation of the former township manager in late 2024, Reome assumed responsibility for township financial operations, including payroll.

After Reome resigned from her position on Oct. 31, 2025, the newly appointed township manager identified discrepancies in prior payouts, police said.

Documents provided to investigators – including timecards, pay stubs, and leave records – revealed that beginning in January 2025, Reome allegedly issued herself unauthorized and fraudulent comp‒time and sick‒time cash‒outs.

The investigation determined that Reome allegedly paid herself for over 1,000 hours of comp time, of which only eight hours was legitimate and approved.

The remaining hours were determined to be fraudulent, totaling over $32,000 in unauthorized payments, police said.

One pay period alone, in March 2025, included two self‒issued comp‒time checks totaling over 100 hours, resulting in a loss of over $4,000 to the township.

Investigators confirmed that the comp‒time in question had not been accrued, approved, or authorized under township policy.

Both the current and former township managers reported no knowledge of these payouts, and township policy clearly requires supervisory approval for work performed outside scheduled hours, police said.

Reome was interviewed and provided explanations for the claimed comp‒time; however, these statements were investigated and found to be unsubstantiated. As a result of the investigation, charges were filed, and an arrest warrant was issued for Reome for offenses related to forgery, theft and tampering with public records.

Reome self-surrendered to Lycoming Regional Police detectives.

She was processed and arraigned in front of District Judge William Solomon and released on $50,000 bail.
