A Potter County Judge has handed down a jail sentence to a former first responder in Genesee, PA. In the Court of Common Pleas, Judge Stephen Minor delivered a sentence of 14 months to 28 months to Scott Andrew Luce, age 37. At the time of sentencing, Luce had paid restitution in the amount $93,452.51. In June 2017, Pennsylvania State Police leveled more than 128 felony and misdemeanor counts against Luce.

Luce had also been convicted of stealing funds from the Independence Emergency Squad while he served as treasurer there.
