The criminal case involving the former Treasurer of Genesee, PA Fire/Ambulance may actually head to trial next month. Scott Luce of Genesee, who just recently turned 37-years-old, is charged with 128 felony and misdemeanor counts after he allegedly stole nearly $100,000 from the agencies in 2017.
He was previously convicted of stealing more than $10,000 from the Independence Emergency Squad in Whitesville. In 2017 he was sentenced to a three-year conditional discharge. Judge Thomas Brown also directed Luce to make restitution in the amount of $11,969.64.
