Tiffany Knupp

SNOW HILL, MD - Tiffany Knupp has taken an Alford plea after facing 9 counts including embezzlement and theft from the Gavin Knupp Foundation, which she started after the hit-and-run death of her son in 2022.

An Alford plea is taken when a person charged maintains their innocence but acknowledges the evidence against them in court. 

Following the plea, a Worcester County judge sentenced Knupp to 1 year unsupervised probation. Knupp will have to pay $6,500 in restitution to the Gavin Knupp Foundation and must resign from the Foundation within 30 days and remove herself from its bank accounts. 

All remaining funds within the Foundation must be donated to charity. Knupp will have no say in which charity is chosen and the decision will be left to the Foundation's remaining board. The Foundation will then be dissolved, per the Court's order.
