SEATTLE (AP) — An arrest warrant has been issued for a former Seattle school employee, who is accused of being the central figure in a Seattle Public Schools financial scandal.
The Seattle Times (http://bit.ly/sNyVZX) reports Silas Potter Jr. failed to appear for arraignment on Tuesday.
Two other defendants, David A. Johnson and Lorrie Kay Sorensen, pleaded not guilty to theft charges during a brief hearing in King County Superior Court.
Potter headed the district’s small-business assistance program before moving to Florida, had been scheduled to enter a plea to theft charges filed by King County prosecutors.
