DUBOIS CITY MANAGER ARRESTED FOR OVER $600,000 IN FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS FROM PUBLIC FUNDS
HARRISBURG—Attorney General Michelle Henry announced today that the City Manager for the City of DuBois and Executive Director of the DuBois Area United Way, John “Herm” Suplizio, was arrested on charges related to stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from public accounts.
Suplizio, 62, of Clearfield County, allegedly committed $620,815 in fraudulent transactions, using funds from city bank accounts and the Dubois Area United Way account to pay his personal credit card bills, make political donations, and gamble. The majority of the funds came from accounts for Community Days, an annual summer event presented by the DuBois Volunteer Fire Department, for which Suplizio and his secretary were the sole signatories.
“Suplizio was a trusted public official who should have been acting in the best interests of his community,” said AG Henry. “Instead, he betrayed that trust by stealing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for his own personal use. This egregious violation of the trust Pennsylvanians put in their officials is disgraceful. Today’s arrest is a reminder that no one is above the law, and that everyone who holds public office in Pennsylvania is accountable to the people.”
A Grand Jury investigation found that, in addition to the fraud, Suplizio used his position as City Manager to enter into contracts with businesses for which he received personal benefits. From 2014-2021, Suplizio also provided false information on his tax returns, paying for numerous charges with public money and claiming those charges as unreimbursed expenses on his taxes.
Suplizio was charged with five counts of Theft by Unlawful Taking; one count of Conflict of Interest; one count of Misapplication of Entrusted Property; and eight counts of Fraudulent Return.
This case is being prosecuted by Senior Deputy Attorney General Summer Carroll. All charges are accusations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

James Roger “Jim” Johnson, 84, of Jamestown, N.Y.
James Roger “Jim” Johnson, 84, of Jamestown, N.Y., passed away Monday morning, March 20, 2023, at his residence. He was born June 29, 1938, in Jamestown, New York, son of the late William F. and Bernice C. (Morgenstern) Johnson.
After his 1956 graduation from Jamestown High School, Jim enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was stationed in Green Cove Springs, Florida. As an electronic technician, he enjoyed his work replacing old antennae with the latest equipment on many ships. When his two-year enlistment was up, Jim remained in Florida working as a plasterer, before finally returning to live in Jamestown, New York.
In 1960, Jim started working at Anderson’s Screw Products. Though he started just by sweeping floors at the machinery plant, his hard work and dedication eventually led him up to plant superintendent. Initially he thought of it as “just a job” but he became fascinated by the intricacies of machining as well as diplomacy of staff management. His job also gave him the opportunity for international travel and annual trips to Chicago for the National Tool Show.
Jim’s hobby of roller skating– starting as a young boy at Midway Amusement Park– led him to the love of his life, Warren native, Barbara Ann Musante.
Jim met Barbara at the Russell Roller Rink in March 1964 and won her over with his sweetness, humor, and devotion. The two married in 1970 and went on to build a house, family, and a happy life together that lasted over 50 years.
Over the years, James and Barbara continued to roller skate, forming a skating community that stayed together long after their regular meeting place—Evan’s Skateland—closed down. Jim was the president of their skating club and continued to arrange Christmas parties and summer picnics.
Jim was very involved in his community, not only as a volunteer fire fighter for the Kiantone fire department, but also as a longtime member of the Kiantone zoning board of appeals, becoming chairman until he stepped down in 2019.
Jim enjoyed participating in weekly biking trips every summer, picnics, dinners, and parties. He loved gardening and carpentry. He was meticulous and very much a perfectionist, making sure everything was exactly the way he wanted it.
After Jim retired in 1999, he started BJ’s Concrete Products, a small lawn and statuary business that continues on with his children and grandchildren at the helm.
Jim will be remembered for his bluntness, his generosity, and his genuine smiles – unless you were asking him to smile for a photo.
Surviving are his beloved wife of 53 years, Barbara Johnson, his four children, Dawn (Steve) Carutis of Westfield, Dan Johnson of Randolph, Cynthia (David) Zuech of Gerry, Jennifer (John Booth) Johnson of Brooklyn, and six grandchildren: Jessica Johnson, Jamie Johnson, Zachary (Lainy Cofer) Zuech, McKenzie Zuech, Alyzza Zuech and Zoe Zuech.
Jim was preceded in death by his older brother, Philip W. Johnson, older sister, Barbara A. (Johnson) Meeker and his parents, William F. and Bernice C. (Morganstern) Johnson.
A private funeral service will be conducted at the convenience of the family. Interment will be in St. Joseph R.C. Cemetery, Warren, PA., E-mail condolences may be sent by visiting www.lewisfuneralhomeinc.com The Donald E. Lewis Funeral Home, Inc., Warren, PA., has been entrusted with funeral arrangements.
