Former Harrisburg Mayor Stephen R. Reed has been charged with hundreds of criminal counts, including multiple felonies.

Magisterial District Judge William Wenner read charges against Reed during a brief arraignment Tuesday morning. The criminal complaint against Reed wasn't available at Wenner's office. A staff member said the attorney general's office would be handing distribution of the complaint.

Charges filed against Reed Tuesday morning are the result of a statewide investigating grand jury, which has been looking into various areas of city governance during the latter portion of Reed's 28-year tenure as mayor.

Charges filed against Reed include:

two counts of running a corrupt organization;

two counts of dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities;

two counts of theft by deception, a first grade felony;

one count of theft by deception, a third grade felony;

one count of theft by deception, a second grade felony;

seven counts of bribery;

158 counts of misapplication of entrusted property and property of government or financial institutions;

one count of tampering with evidence;

one count of deceptive business practices;

three counts of criminal solicitation to tamper with public records;

three counts of theft of services, a third grade felony;

29 counts of theft by receiving stolen property, a third grade felony;

29 counts of theft by unlawful taking, a third grade felony;

110 counts of theft by receiving stolen property, a first grade misdemeanor;

110 counts of theft by unlawful taking, a first degree misdemeanor;

20 counts of theft by receiving stolen property, a second grade felony;

and 20 counts of theft by unlawful taking, a second degree felony.

Reed arrived at Wenner's Lower Paxton Township office shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday with his attorney Henry Hockeimer. When asked if he'd done anything criminal, Reed said "not that I know of."

He said the current situation was "surreal."

Reed was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury in April.

That was followed several weeks later by the execution of a search warrant at his Cumberland Street home, during which agents pulled dozens of items, presumably to check on whether any matched inventories of artifacts acquired with public funds as part of Reed's vision to make Harrisburg a city of museums.

The Attorney General's probe was also believed to be looking into Reed's use of a special projects fund created at The Harrisburg Authority during his tenure, and circumstances surrounding the issuance of questionable bond issues in his last two terms aimed at financing repairs to the troubled Harrisburg incinerator.

The incinerator project would eventually throw Harrisburg's city government into fiscal collapse, creating a chain reaction of events that eventually led to Reed's ouster by the voters in 2009, and sustained public scrutiny that helped lead to the current investigation.

This post also has been updated to fix a typographical error in the misapplication of entrusted property charge and to further elaborate on the charge based on a news release from the state attorney general's office.
