MILFORD, PA — Michael Anthony Scully, 27, of Hawley, was sentenced in Pike County Court last week to between 16 and 54 months in a state correctional facility, fined $3,000, and had his driver’s license suspended, for the crimes of burglary, forgery and driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

State police pulled over Scully on April 22, 2015, for traveling erratically at a high rate of speed along Pine Forest Road in Blooming Grove Township. While speaking with Scully, the trooper observed Scully’s eyes to be glossy, his pupils constricted and his actions slow. A field sobriety test showed impairment, and a blood test confirmed the presence of THC and heroin in his body. Scully was also found in possession of a syringe, glassine packets and assorted drug paraphernalia.

Between July 10, 2015, and July 23, 2015, Scully broke into a residence in Palmyra Township on four to five separate occasions during which he stole Fentanyl patches and personal checks totaling $900, which he cashed after forging the homeowner’s name. On October 14, 2015, the state police were dispatched to a bar in Lackawaxen Township where Scully was found behind the building in possession of heroin, needles, a pipe and assorted drug paraphernalia.
