A former police officer is accused of stealing drug money following a search warrant at a barbershop in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Jason Krasley, 47, of Upper Milford Township, is charged with theft by unlawful taking or disposition and receiving stolen property – over $2,000. Investigators said Krasley stole $5,500 in cash and concealed the money while on duty as a Vice officer with the Allentown Police Department back on May 16, 2019.   A search warrant was served that day at the Washington Barbershop on the 1100 block of Hamilton Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Investigators – including Krasley — seized cocaine, drug paraphernalia and drug money, officials said. The owner of the barbershop ultimately pleaded guilty to drug dealing. As part of the investigation, a photo was taken of an inventory receipt on May 16, 2019, that identified $16,000 in cash that was found in the basement ceiling of the shop. Investigators then determined a second inventory receipt was completed in the Allentown Police Vice Office indicating $10,500 in cash was found in the basement ceiling. The money recovered from the search warrant was recounted later that day at the Vice Unit Office and investigators discovered $5,500 was missing. Investigators then determined Krasley was the person who stole the money. During a press conference on Friday, Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan did not reveal why it took more than five years for Krasley to be charged but said everyone will be held to the court of law if they break it. “Crime is crime regardless of who commits it,” Holihan said. Krasley surrendered to police on Nov. 15, 2024. He was arraigned and then released on $100,000 unsecured bail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Dec. 5, 2024. NBC10 reached out to Krasley’s attorney for comment. We have not yet received a response.
