Former Cumberland County Solid Waste Director, Michael Harvel, age 50, has been indicted on federal charges for allegedly assaulting seven woman he supervised. On Monday, a federal grand jury indicted Harvel on nine counts including charges of sexual assault and kidnapping. Harvel was arrested Friday morning by FBI agents at his home in Crossville. If convicted, Harvel faces up to life in prison.
After the federal government sued for Harvel’s actions, Cumberland County settled the suit for $1.1 million.
