PINE CREEK TWP., Pa. (EYT) – A Brockway man waived his hearing on Wednesday on charges of possession of a controlled substance at the Jefferson County Jail.
According to court documents, the following charges against Brian Roger Keith were waived for court on Wednesday, April 1:
– Contraband/Controlled Substance, Felony 2
– Possession of Controlled Substance, Misdemeanor
– Use/Possession Of Drug Paraphernalia, Misdemeanor
The charges have been transferred to the Jefferson County Court of Common Pleas.
Keith remains lodged in the Jefferson County Jail pending $50,000.00 monetary bail.
The charges stem from an incident at the Jefferson County Jail in September 2019.
According a criminal complaint, around 9:35 a.m. on September 26, 2019, Trooper Knotts, of the Punxsutawney-based State Police, was dispatched to the Jefferson County Jail in Pine Creek Township for a report of suspected drugs and drug paraphernalia found.
According to the complaint, Brian Keith had arrived at the jail on September 11, and a property search was then conducted. He was allegedly found to be in possession of a silver key chain container that contained a suspected controlled substance.
The substance was then sent away for lab testing, which the complaint states showed the substance contained Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a Schedule one controlled substance, and Diazepam, a Schedule four controlled substance.
The charges were filed through Magisterial District Judge Gregory M. Bazylak’s office on January 17.
