A Pittsburgh lawyer charged in connection with a drug trafficking ring with his son and other fraternity brothers at Pennsylvania State University allegedly helped retrieve a hidden safe, thought to contain cocaine, according to a former frat brother.
The testimony came during a preliminary hearing Wednesday in which Centre County Common Pleas President Judge Jonathan Grine in Pennsylvania ruled that there was enough evidence against Pittsburgh attorney Paul Robinson, 59, to send his case to trial, according to TribLive.
Robinson’s son, Thomas Robinson, 23, was one of 14 people charged in a suspected cocaine ring at the university. Ryan Matson, a former Delta Upsilon frat brother, said he knew that the younger Robinson was selling cocaine and hid the safe as a favor after his arrest in December 2024.
Robinson is a managing attorney at Meyer, Darragh, Buckler, Bebenek & Eck in Pittsburgh. He is charged with felony tampering and hindering apprehension for trying to conceal evidence.
