Pa. constable charged with over 700 counts of human trafficking

A Pennsylvania constable faces over 700 charges related to human trafficking as a result of a two-year joint investigation conducted by the Chambersburg Police Department and the Franklin County District Attorney's Office. 

Authorities arrested Timothy Raye Heefner, 64, on Wednesday. He's being held at the Franklin County Jail with bail set at $1,250,000.

The investigation is ongoing, and the Chambersburg Police Department requests that anyone who might have been a victim of Heefner to come forward.

On Wednesday, the Chambersburg Police Department announced in a press release that authorities initially received information to open a case in July 2021, which was later presented to the Franklin County Investigative Grand Jury in January.
