A man who spent time in the headlines for cheating in a fishing tournament has been sentenced in a separate forgery case.

Chase Cominsky, 36, was sentenced to six to 12 months in jail with four months of probation, according to Mercer County District Attorney Peter Acker.

Cominsky was charged with conspiracy in February 2023 after he and his son allegedly tried to pass two fake $100 bills at a bowling alley in Hermitage. His 18-year-old son was also charged.

Police said the bills were phony as they were printed with the phrases "For Motion Picture Purposes" and "Not Legal Tender."

An investigation found that Cominsky gave his son the money and said that would bring another counterfeit bill to the bowling alley.

Cominsky is also accused of poaching deer in Pennsylvania and the aforementioned fishing tournament scandal where he used weights to make the fish he caught heavier.
