A former vice president of Tiger Trash in East Manchester Township is facing charges after allegedly stealing over $60,000 from the company over a two-year period, according to York County Regional Police.

Jeremy M. Knaub, 49, of York Township, has been charged with theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property, and forgery — alter writing. Knaub, who had been with the company for 24 years and served as vice president for 15 years, was terminated in October 2023.

According to police, Knaub used company funds for personal expenses, including alcohol, concert tickets, and a rental car for his wife. The investigation into the theft unfolded after the company’s president, Terrance Stewart, discovered unauthorized transactions on Knaub’s credit card statement.

A forensic accounting investigation revealed that Knaub had manipulated petty cash accounts and corporate credit cards to the tune of $60,419 between 2021 and 2023. In some instances, Knaub allegedly used white out to conceal specific transactions on receipts.

Knaub has been released on $50,000 unsecured bail, and court records do not list an attorney for him. The owner of Tiger Trash reported the theft to police, leading to Knaub’s arrest.
