Paul Robinson Faces Evidence Tampering Charges | Harrisburg News

Paul Robinson, the dad at the center of the Penn State drug ring scandal, faced a preliminary hearing where prosecutors accused him of destroying evidence — specifically a safe believed to contain drugs and cash tied to his son Thomas. Despite his lawyer’s pushback calling it speculative, the judge moved forward with felony hindering apprehension charges. Meanwhile, Thomas was spotted leaving court before his father’s hearing began. Text messages revealed Paul asked his son’s best friend to check on Thomas, with the friend saying Paul was worried his son might get arrested — and that Paul encouraged honesty with authorities. The defense wants the case dropped, but the judge refused, noting Paul chose to proceed with the hearing. The big question remains: what was really in that safe — and can we ever know for sure?
