Prison Sentence In Theft Case For Former Hose Company Head

In addition to the prison time, Sweeney was ordered to spend 1,000 hours doing community service for Greenwood Hose Company and pay back full restitution. His attorney said Sweeney's already paid back $100,000 dollars.But, some people think paying back the fire department isn't the same thing as paying your debt to society."I think there should be a black and white sentence, if you steal so much money you get so many years. And if you can't make your restitution you get more years," said Leo Ventura of Scranton.Several Presbyterian College football players earned spots on the Big South All-Conference team, as selected today by the league football coaches.
