Summary
Paul Robinson, 59, a Pittsburgh attorney and the only non-student charged, publicly thanked supporters in a Facebook post after he and his family were accused in the Penn State cocaine-ring case.
Fourteen people were charged overall, including 13 current and former Penn State students; prosecutors say cocaine was cut and packaged at Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi houses and sold mainly to students in 2023 and 2024.
Robinson faces felony counts including tampering, hindering apprehension and concealing evidence, with court papers alleging he took steps to hide a safe containing drugs and cash.
Meyer, Darragh, Buckler, Bebenek & Eck said the allegations concern Robinson individually, not the firm or its clients, and added that he is entitled to the presumption of innocence as the case proceeds.
