Judge sentenced him to four years and three months in federal prison Former Erie auto dealer Andy Gabler — whose signature line on his many TV ads was, “Andy says, ‘Write it up,’ ” in reference to finalizing a vehicle sale — was unable to close the deal in court on Thursday. Gabler argued that his charitable donations, service to others and lack of criminal intent should spare him federal prison in a $1.7 million fraud he ran out of his Lakeside Auto Group. Gabler was sentenced to four years and three months in federal prison for his scheme, which defrauded a bank and other victims.
