The criminal case against the former treasurer of the
Genesee (PA) fire and ambulance department has been delayed until May. A
hearing was scheduled for February 27th for Scott Luce, 35, of Main
Street in Genesee. He is accused of stealing more than $93,000 from the
volunteer agency. Pennsylvania State Police leveled 128 felony and misdemeanor
charges against Luce. He is currently free on a $100,000 bond. The defense had
filed a motion seeking a continuance. Recently, Potter County President Judge Stephen Minor
granted the motion and has rescheduled the hearing for May 7th at 9
a.m. He was originally arrested by Pennsylvania State Police in June 2019. Luce
was previously convicted of stealing funds from the Independence Emergency
Squad. In that case he was ordered to make restitution.
