SMETHPORT — A Port Allegany woman accused of aiding a man who was wanted by police was sentenced Thursday in McKean County Court.

Moore pleaded guilty Dec. 7 to allegations that between Oct. 26 and 29, police were searching for Christopher Link, and she said she would contact them if she found him; he was later found to be with her.
Also in court, Armando L. Aponte, 36, of Bradford, will serve 45 days to six months in McKean County Jail and one year of probation for a charge of simple assault.
