MAN SENTENCED FOR STOLEN VEHICLE AND FLEEING IN CHASE INTO NY

(MCKEAN COUNTY, Pennsylvania: April 21, 2025): District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that a man with 2 cases pending in McKean County has been sentenced by a McKean County Judge. Patrick FUHR appeared last Thursday for sentencing on two cases. He had been charged by Foster Township Police with driving a vehicle that had been stolen from a Buffalo car dealership. After he made bail months after that arrest, Troopers with the State Police attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a vehicle he was driving and he attempted to flee them – hitting their cruiser before fleeing into New York where he would ultimately wreck the vehicle in a chase that saw officers from multiple jurisdictions in McKean County and NY participating.
FUHR was sentenced for Receiving Stolen Property (Felony 3); Fleeing Police (endangering others) (Felony 3); Resisting Arrest with use of a Deadly Weapon; 6 counts of Recklessly Endangering Another Person with a Deadly Weapon and numerous traffic citations. FUHR was sentenced to a term of incarceration of 6 years to 12 years in state prison, pay restitution, and other terms. He is not eligible for any early parole programs.
