    Allan E. Huff, 53, of Bradford, pleaded guilty to three counts of theft by deception. According to Assistant District Attorney Bridget Murphy, between Feb. 1, 2016, and April 16, 2018, Huff offered to prepare another man’s taxes for three years, then withheld taxes from each of those years: $641 from the man’s 2015 return, $740 from the man’s 2016 return and $1,300 from the man’s 2017 return. Huff will serve 23 ½ months of probation and pay $2,681 in restitution.

    Renee E. Seger, 24, of Roulette, will serve 53 days to 18 months in McKean County Jail with credit for 53 days of time served for charges of theft by unlawful taking in two separate cases. On Sept. 17, Seger pleaded guilty to allegations that on Sept. 2, 2019, she took $300 from her grandmother in the form of a personal check, and on Sept. 14, 2019, she took another $200 from her grandmother, again as a check.

    Shane C. Lamberton, 30, of Duke Center, will serve one year of probation and pay $3,778.54 in restitution for a charge of theft by unlawful taking.
