As I told you back in February, Stan Margle, age 67, a prominent Easton area attorney, has been charged with possession of both controlled substances and drug paraphernalia. He was charged with these drug offenses after he left juvenile court but forgot his bag. In an attempt to determine the owner, Sheriff Deputies opened the bag and discovered that it belonged to Margle. They also discovered what was later determined to be cocaine, along with the paraphernalia facilitating its use. There was also video surveillance showing Margle bringing a satchel into Juvenile Court and then leaving without it. He later returned for the bag, only to discover it had been turned over to county detectives.
He waived his preliminary hearing and is scheduled for criminal court today. He appears to be representing himself.
As a first offender, Margle is likely eligible for ARD.
Margle was a $1,000 campaign contributor to DA Steve Baratta.
There are no actions against him by the Pa. Disciplinary Board.
