Wyalusing Man Resentenced for Additional Charges in New York
A Wyalusing man has been resentenced for crimes he committed in Pennsylvania after officials said he received additional charges in New York State. 51 year old Timothy E. Hoose Sr., was resentenced to an overall minimum of 12 months to an overall maximum of 36 months in state prison following his resentencing in two cases, according to a release from the Bradford County District Attorney’s Office. Hoose Sr. was originally charged with two counts of fraudulent business practices following an investigation in Bradford County. The DA stated that Hoose Sr. was first sentenced to five months to 23 months and 29 days behind bars, followed by six years of probation for the crimes. Hoose Sr. then received new charges in New York State, which resulted in his initial sentencing being revoked, and he was resentenced, the DA said.
