Nicole W. Ziccarelli’s statements with regard to:

1.  The criminal case against Derrick Bass - 

“The Office of District Attorney will proceed with the case against Mr. Bass as charged in the Criminal Information.  I cannot comment any further as this is an ongoing case.” - Nicole Ziccarelli, Westmoreland County District Attorney

1. With regard to the recent Quo Warranto civil actions recently filed by my office, 

“A quo warranto civil action ensures that individuals holding elected office are eligible to do so.  The need to file such actions is rarely presented and the filing of these complaints does not represent a new investigative focus for my office.  As with previous matters handled by this office, these investigations were prompted by outside complaints and investigated by the County Detectives.” - Nicole Ziccarelli, Westmoreland County District Attorney
