He's not a cop anymore, but he's out there... armed to the teeth...and he's nuttier than squirrel turds.
"Mark Kessler, the former Gilberton police chief who gained national prominence due to YouTube videos showing him firing guns, will not have to serve time behind bars after a Schuylkill County judge sentenced him Thursday on two charges resulting from misstatements during his purchase of firearms.
Kessler, must spend two years on probation, pay costs and $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities, Judge Charles M. Miller ruled.
In a one-day trial over which Miller presided, a jury of eight men and four women, after deliberating a little more than an hour, convicted him on April 4 of making a false statement on a firearms application and unsworn falsification to authorities.
State police at Frackville alleged Kessler falsely stated he was not charged with a crime carrying a possible prison sentence of more than one year in an application he filed to buy a gun on May 5, 2016, at Dunham’s Sports in Schuylkill Mall. At the time, Kessler was facing a charge of terroristic threats, which has a maximum sentence of five years behind bars."
