A Franklin man convicted in June of eluding police while on state parole supervision was sentenced Thursday to a two-year state intermediate punishment term.
Venango County Judge Oliver Lobaugh ordered Marquise McCool, 24, to serve the sentence concurrently with a sentence he is serving at Camp Hill state prison in Cumberland County in connection with a 2012 incident.
McCool was found guilty in June of a misdemeanor count of flight to avoid apprehension after an incident in March when he eluded Franklin police by cutting off a GPS ankle monitoring bracelet he had been ordered to wear by the state Board of Probation and Parole.
McCool was ordered to undergo two years of rehabilitative supervision for those charges. He was terminated from the program in 2013 shortly before pleading guilty to simple assault in connection with a stabbing in Oil City.
In 2016, McCool’s probation was revoked in two harassment cases, but no further punishment was ordered in those cases.
