Man Who Made ARG Threat Sentenced

The man who threatened to blow up the ARG Refinery after he was fired by a subcontractor has been sentenced to 45 days to 18 months in McKean County Jail.

40-year-old John Rose was given credit for 81 days of time served.

Back in December Rose tried to force his way into the front entrance of ARG on Kendall Avenue by kicking the door and throwing rocks at the glass. Before police got to ARG, Rose drove away and, when police caught up with him near the intersection of Williams Street and Rosedale Avenue, they had to order him at gunpoint to get onto the ground.

He pleaded guilty last week.
