Ambridge Police Chief James Mann has been found not guilty of all ten felony and misdemeanor charges filed against him by state police. Prosecutors had alleged the veteran lawman engaged in theft by falsifying timesheets and then threatened officers involved in the criminal investigation against him.

Jurors also rejected allegations that Mann had attempted to intimidate officer Michael McQuaide.
