Roulette Man Sentenced In Potter County Court
A Roulette Township man was recently sentenced in Potter County Court of Common Pleas for a charge of DUI and Resisting Arrest filed by State Police after an October 10, 2010 incident.

Gary R. Fessenden, 70, of 93 Fessenden Road, Roulette, PA, was sentenced on the DUI charge by Potter County President Judge Stephen P. B. Minor, to 90 days to 5 years of Electronic Home Monitoring at his own expense, to be paroled at the end of the minimum. He must pay a fine of $1,500.00. Fessenden may file for release from parole after two years if he is fully compliant with provisions of parole.

On the Resisting Arrest charge, Fessenden was sentenced by Judge Minor to 18 months probation that is consecutive to his DUI sentence and a fine of $350.00.

Other provisions of the sentencing are to pay court costs, pay a supervision fee of $25.00 a month and an administrative fee of $20.00 a month while on parole or probation; pay a donation to the Potter County Food Bank in lieu of 30 hours of community service; pay a lab fee of $74.00; pay a Court Reporting Networks Test fee of $100.00; pay a fee of $100.00 for act 198; attend DUI Safe Driving School and be responsible for cost thereof; take part in Alcohol Treatment Programs at his own expense; attend AA meetings as directed; attend a DUI Victim Impact Panel presentation and pay $35.00 to defray costs; and his driver's license was suspended for 18 months.

Fessenden was also fined for summary violations in connection with the incident.

The charges were placed by Trooper Chad Savannah of the Coudersport Station, who wrote that he pulled in behind Fessenden's vehicle that was stopped on the shoulder of the westbound lane of Route 6 in Roulette Township to see if the motorist was having a problem. Fessenden told the trooper he had pulled over to use his cell phone.

Trooper Savannah noted that he smelled alcohol and saw other indications that Fessenden had been drinking, including an open beer can on the passenger seat. As his investigation continued, Fessenden became uncooperative and some force was needed to complete the arrest and that was the basis for the (M2) Resisting Arrest charge.

A subsequent blood test indicated Fessenden had a .22% BAC. He was charged with DUI, Tier 2, 2nd offense (M1).

The case was prosecuted by Potter County District Attorney Andy Watson. Fessenden was represented by Attorney William Hebe of Wellsboro, PA.

If he was "stopped" along the side of the road, how can he be charged with "driving" while intoxicated?

3:54: Scotty must have beamed him there. That often happens when you drink enough to get a .22% bac.

If you are in the drivers seat, you are in control of the vehicle whether it is in motion or not. Therefor, dui pertains. read the law 3:54. The vehicle didnt just get there without him driving it. He is lucky he got arrested before he drove off and killed someone.

The law says you do not have to be actually driving at the time; i.e. you could be stopped with keys in the car and get one. It is obvious you were drinking and driving or you would not be in the car alone in the passenger seat.

AA is for honest people who WANT help, not for people that the Judge thinks should attend.
Stop ordering these peole to AA.

Before you all start talking gary down why don't you stop and think about what all he has done for the community. Not that any of you care. Ya gotta find fault with someone and all of a sudden none of you have done a damn thing wrong in your lives. Grow up! This website definately gets abused and people use it for all the wrong reasons.

It's all about the money. DUI is a money-making machine, that's all; otherwise, the same laws and relevance would apply to texting and driving, which has been shown to be many times worse than DUI....

First off it doesnt matter what good old Gary has done for the community, He was wrong got caught and Some action, has been taken. Wonder what you would be saying if good old Gary had hit and hurt one of your family members (heaven forbid that happening.The law is to protect the the people . If you want to drink thats fine but DON'T get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Thats just an accident waiting to happen. So thanks to good old Gary for helping the community BUT,shame on you for your actions!!

@11:54 PM EST. Doesn't matter much what he did or does for the community if he puts other lives at risk by driving while intoxicated. What if he had caused and accident that killed another person? You can't put a price on a human life, and to say that people should think about what he has done for the community is ridiculous. People make mistakes, but not only did he drive when he was belligerently drunk, but he resisted an officer as well. If you want to have a good time and have some drinks, make sure you have a designated driver, or drink at home. Since he has done so much for the community, perhaps you or someone else could have offered to be his designated driver? Maybe give a little back for all that he has done? Just a thought, it would seem to be a fair trade.

All I'm trying to say is back off a little bit for christ sake. People make mistakes and people can't just keep their noses and stupid ass comments out of it. And I would be his designated driver any day of the week. And I have done it for him before on more than one occasion. He has to deal with the court system and all that other stuff right now and don't need the comment from assholes like you

I used to work for Gary. Nice guy. He made a mistake. Yes, that mistake could have been worse, but thank goodness it wasnt. So, lets not borrow trouble. Be thankful that something worse did not happen. He was sentenced, so leave him alone.

All I'm saying is, nobody is above the law, period. I have 2 children, a 5 year old son, and a 2 and a half year old daughter. Maybe you have kids, maybe you don't, but I'm sure there is someone in this world that you love more than yourself. Maybe not. Either way, nobody is jumping all over Gary because it's Gary. I used to know Gary a while back, back when I played little league with Frank and Robbie Bruzzi. He was always a nice guy, never had any issue with him. Still don't believe he's a bad guy, but anyone that gets behind the wheel of a car after consuming alcohol, especially this much, turns that vehicle into a potential instrument of death. In fact, I never said anything that could be logically construed as "attacking" him personally. My statement was a general one regarding ANYONE that drives drunk. If I drove drunk, I'd expect to be arrested just like anyone else. I choose not to put mine and others lives at risk. I'm not here to stone anyone, I wouldn't have given my opinion on this had I not read your comment insinuating that this really should be OK because of what Gary did/does for the community. It's water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned. He did get what he deserved, so the point of arguing is moot. Have a fantastic day.

Rob i agree with you 100% but with the idiot that called the people of the community "Assholes" Shame on you, I just wonder how many times you have been in the same condition as good old Gary and havent been caught. Your comments are really not needed especially when you bad mouth the community we live in. Thanks for the concern Rob we need alot more people in the community with your give a damn attitude and not afraid to stand up for whats right. Once again to bad for Gary having to fight the court system.

I never said what gary did was right all I'm saying is he don't the abusive statement towards him. And there are far bigger reasons as to why he isn't in jail so before you start making assumptions get the facts. He is still serving a sentence for his actions which yes they could havfe been worse and thank god they weren't. But not a single person has any clue as to what's going on as to why he isn't in jail. So why can't everyone just drop it at he got sentenced. He is getting his punishment from the state and stay out of it. Unless you have a good god damn reason to get involved

Honestly I think this site is a joke. Its supposed to let people know what's going on and yes it does that but what happens in the court and between the person who has done the wrong doing should be kept discreet if people of this little gossip community want to use the site to post comments like ones above. Gary did something wrong and he got changed for what he did. Don't sit on here and judge anyone who has done something, he got a dui he didnt cause an accident and no one got hurt. Was there a possibility yes but it didnt happen. Honestly get off the subject of gary because y'all be commenting on the "next big thing" when it comes around away

Gary may have done the community good, But wake up he has been arrested for DUI and resisting arrest.This is not his first offence.. I dont know why he is not in jail. But if he can be at the friendly every night drinking I think he can manage some jail time.He was lucky he did not injure someone or himself. He has a alcohol problem.. So address it.and quit defending him.. WRONG is WRONG.
