RE: Criminal Investigation Request – Former Potter County DA Andy Joseph Watson
To the Office of the Attorney General:
As a resident of Potter County, I am writing to formally request that the Public Integrity Section initiate a comprehensive criminal prosecution against former District Attorney Andy Joseph Watson following the conclusion of his upcoming December 2026 Disciplinary Board trial (49 DB 2026) [padisciplinaryboard.org].
The official filings by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel document an unprecedented, 12-year pattern of systemic public corruption and extrajudicial surveillance that directly crosses the line into serious criminal conduct under the Pennsylvania Crimes Code [padisciplinaryboard.org]:
Forgery & Tampering with Public Records (18 Pa.C.S. §§ 4101, 4911):
The evidence establishes that on hundreds of occasions, Watson affixed his signature to unauthorized subpoenas that falsely claimed targets were “ordered by the Court” to surrender private cellular, financial, and medical data [padisciplinaryboard.org]. To hide this unconstitutional pipeline from judicial oversight, these documents were routed into an unindexed, secret “miscellaneous” civil file drawer rather than active public court dockets [padisciplinaryboard.org].
Official Oppression (18 Pa.C.S. § 5301):
Watson knowingly utilized the coercive power of his office to execute unlawful searches and seizures against citizens who had no active criminal cases pending against them [padisciplinaryboard.org]. He furthered this scheme by attaching custom Nondisclosure Agreements (NDAs) that falsely threatened private corporations with “obstruction of justice” charges to guarantee the operations remained entirely hidden from the victims.
Willful Criminal Intent & Defiance:
Any claim of administrative oversight is completely disproven by the timeline. Watson was explicitly ordered by the court to halt these unconstitutional pre-complaint discovery practices. Despite this direct judicial warning, he chose to double down, using unlawfully seized evidence to file a massive multi-count felony weapons case 43 days later.
The digital mainframe logs from the LeadsOnline Nighthawk system and Watson’s own physical signatures provide an unalterable, forensic audit trail that is written in stone [padisciplinaryboard.org].
Because this represents a calculated, long-term subversion of the judiciary by the county’s chief law enforcement officer, a professional licensing suspension is completely inadequate.
To restore public trust in the regional justice system and ensure the mandatory enforcement of the Public Employee Pension Forfeiture Act (Act 140), we urge your office to aggressively pursue mandatory state prison time [sers.pa.gov, padisciplinaryboard.org].
The local community is watching this case closely and demands absolute legal accountability.
Respectfully submitted,
