Moore waives hearing on theft charges

The former Kennett Township manager who allegedly embezzled more than $3 million from the township has waived her preliminary hearing.

The hearing for Lisa Moore was scheduled for April 21 in district court. The waiver was submitted April 14 by Moore’s attorney, Julia Alexa Rogers, according to the Pennsylvania eDocket.

The case now moves to the Chester County Court of Common Pleas.

The Chester County District Attorney charged Moore in December 2019, with 115 felonies and 26 misdemeanors following a months-long investigation that began in April 2019 when the supervisors were notified of suspicious transactions in the township’s finances.

Moore was first put on paid administrative leave and then fired May 17, 2019.
