JS man accused of DUI
JERSEY SHORE A Jersey Shore man was charged with a DUI on Allegheny Street on Dec. 11 2020, according to Tiadaghton Valley Regional Police.
Scott Powell, 56, of 144 Elm St., Jersey Shore, was pulled over by police for allegedly swerving into the opposite lane almost hitting a parked car.
According to police, when he was pulled over, there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from the car along with a noticeable empty Coors Light can in the passenger seat and an open 30-pack in the back.
Powell performed poorly on two field sobriety tests and refused doing another, according to police. He then allegedly consented to a blood test at Geisinger Hospital in Jersey Shore.
Clearfield woman allegedly lied on firearm application
Sheila Kent, 48, of 120 Clark St., Clearfield, allegedly lied on an application to purchase a firearm from National Sport Goods back in June of 2020, according to Tiadaghton Valley Regional Police.
Kent allegedly checked “no” in response to the question, “Have you ever been convicted in any court for a felony, or other crime, for which the judge could imprison you for more than one year, even if you received a shorter sentence including probation?” said Brian Firetti, a Tiadaghton Valley Regional Police officer.
According to Firetti, Kent previously pled guilty to DUI twice in 2006, and was placed on probation for two years.
