A former WMATA was indicted today for allegedly selling surplus equipment, including a bulldozer, and pocketing the money.

A release from the Office of the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney says 61-year-old Adrian Sclawy was working as the “manager of a WMATA surplus property warehouse in New Carrollton in July 2013, when WMATA officials received a tip that he may be selling WMATA property and keeping the funds for himself.”

Metro Transit Police and WMATA’s Office of Inspector General launched an investigation and discovered that another employee purchased surplus property from the warehouse and had paid for the equipment, which included a bulldozer, chipper, tractors and an asphalt roller, via money order. That employee told officials that Sclawy allegedly told him to leave the payee information blank and Sclawy would stamp it with an official WMATA stamp.

In total, the employee provided Sclawy with $18,100 in money orders for the equipment and that money was never paid to WMATA. It is alleged that Sclawy made the money orders out to himself and deposited them into his personal bank account.

A similar exchange, worth $30,000, happened in Pennsylvania, while two other exchanges allegedly put $18,000 in Sclawy’s pocket. “In addition to the funds WMATA officials are aware of, there is approximately $75,000 that allegedly appeared in Sclawy’s personal bank account between 2009 and 2013 that has yet to be accounted for,” a release says. He was fired in December.
