The former athletic director for Beaver Area School District is facing charges after being found with 22 pounds of marijuana and prescription pills during a traffic stop near the Poconos earlier this month. Patrick McDanel was pulled over August 11th on Interstate 80 in Tobyhanna Township. McDanel left his role with the school district about a month earlier to move to another state where his wife and in-laws live. The 33-year-old is free on ten-thousand-dollars bail ahead of his September 5th preliminary hearing.
