SMETHPORT — A Smethport man was sentenced to a state prison term Thursday in McKean County Court for charges stemming from four criminal cases.

Comilla pleaded guilty Thursday to one charge of fraudulent traffic in food orders. According to District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer, Comilla conspired with Nicole Austin to let an informant use her Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card to make $350 in purchases at Walmart and pay Comilla $150.
On Nov. 9, Comilla pleaded guilty in one case to theft by unlawful taking and a summary charge, in the second case to theft by unlawful taking and in the third case to simple assault and theft by unlawful taking.
