Charges against Uniontown man bound for court
A Uniontown man accused of possession with intent to deliver drugs will have his day in court following a preliminary hearing Tuesday. Kenneth A. White of 31 Millview St. was charged last year with multiple counts of possession with intent to deliver drugs, possession of a controlled substance and a singe count of disorderly conduct.
During the hearing Tuesday, single counts of possession of drugs and possession with intent to deliver drugs, along with the disorderly conduct charge, were bound for Fayette County Court. The additional charges were dismissed.
Uniontown police filed the charges against White after he was found with a large stash of drugs at 2:45 a.m. Nov. 1 on North Gallatin Avenue.
The incident began when police heard people arguing on North Gallatin Avenue and saw what appeared to be two men ready to fight, according to the criminal complaint filed by Officer Dave Hromada.
Hromada said he advised the men to leave but they refused and allegedly called him a “goblin.”
After ordering the men to leave the scene a second time, Hromada said he called for backup, and Sgt. Wayne Brown and officers John Kauer and Ray Miller arrived.
Hromada said when police searched White they found a foil container of LSD, three bags of marijuana, two bags of Ecstasy pills, seven individually wrapped green pills, four purple pills, four yellow pills and 22 red pills.
Police also discovered more than $3,000 in cash wrapped in a rubber band, Hromada said.
