Former fire chief accused in $2,700 gas misappropriation case
State officials and Oswego County District Attorney Gregory Oakes pursue accountability after Pennellville Volunteer Fire Association audits show $5,432 charged for gasoline, with up to $4,682 unauthorized. Former chief Royal allegedly sold a fire association truck for $3,000, keeping $1,500. Auditors found missing meeting minutes and weak internal controls. The association votes to end Royal’s involvement and implements 16 recommendations to strengthen cash handling and fuel purchase oversight. Attempts to reach involved parties were unsuccessful at press time.
