PA prosecutor demoted for DoorDash moonlighting job during work hours
A top prosecutor in a Pennsylvania county district attorney’s office has been demoted and is facing further consequences after he was caught moonlighting for DoorDash during work hours, according to officials and reports.
Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub announced the punishment Thursday against prosecutor Gregg Shore, who was demoted from the office’s first assistant district attorney to deputy district attorney, local affiliate FOX 29 reported.
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, his salary as first assistant district attorney was just shy of $129,500. In his new role, he’ll be raking in roughly $22,000 less, according to the report.
"What he’s done is indefensible, thoughtless, selfish and so stupid," Weintraub told the news site. "It makes no sense. … I don’t know why he did this, but I am so angry and upset. It shows a lack of leadership and is the reason I have decided to demote him."
Bucks County is located roughly 25 miles north of Philadelphia and boasts a population of about 628,000.
Speaking to FOX29, Shore said he was motivated by personal circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic to work the delivery job.
