A Uniontown man remains behind bars after he waived all charges filed against him to court for allegedly possessing illegal drugs found during a raid at his home. Uniontown police Officer Jamie Holland said Anthony Pratt Jr., 23, of 73 E. Wine St. was charged before Magisterial District Judge Michael M. Metros with two counts of possession of crack cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with public records following the raid on July 29.

Uniontown police Detective Donald M. Gmitter said that he secured a search warrant for Pratt’s residence after police received multiple tips regarding suspected drug trafficking at the home.

Gmitter said a team of Uniontown police officers and members of the Fayette County Drug Task Force raided the residence at 7:26 a.m.

Holland said that during the raid, police recovered a small plastic bag containing suspected crack cocaine from the roof of the home, as well as a digital scale.

Holland said officers also found $2,000 under a bedroom mattress.

Holland said police K9 Officer Michael C. Garrow Sr. and police dog Leo were then brought in to search the residence, and Leo helped uncover several additional prescription medication bottles with multiple types of pills in them, plastic bags and another digital scale.

Gmitter said that officers also seized Pratt’s vehicle from the residence.

Pratt remains in the Fayette County Prison on $50,000 straight cash bond.

At the time of the raid, Gmitter said Pratt was free from prison after posting bond in an unrelated drug case.
