Uniontown man held for court on drug charges
The majority of charges filed against a Uniontown man accused of driving a vehicle with his 9-year-old daughter with him while marijuana was stashed inside. Redstone police Chief Norman L. Howard said Billy Deonte James, 29, of 59 E. Kerr St. was charged with possession of marijuana, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, endangering the welfare of children, providing false identification to law enforcement, disorderly conduct and three traffic violations. The charges were filed with Magisterial District Judge Michael Defino, police said.
During a preliminary hearing Monday, prosecutors withdrew the charges of possession with intent to deliver and endangering the welfare of children. Defino then held the remainder of the charges against James for Fayette County Court.
