SCRANTON — A probation official in northeastern Pennsylvania has agreed to plead guilty to tampering with juvenile court records.

Sandra Brulo is the fourth figure to be charged in an unfolding courthouse corruption scandal in Luzerne County. Court documents filed today say she will plead guilty to obstruction of justice.

The 56-year-old Brulo allegedly tampered with the records to evade liability in a civil suit filed on behalf of hundreds of juveniles who may have been improperly sentenced to detention.

Her co-defendants in the suit are former Luzerne County Judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan. They pleaded guilty last month to fraud after prosecutors accused them of taking kickbacks to send juvenile offenders to private detention centers.
