Court finds State College man guilty of six drug charges
A State College man was found guilty last week of selling drugs to undercover police officers on two separate occasions in 1995 and 1996. Amin O. Robinson was convicted of six drug-related charges after selling cocaine on July 28, 1995, and marijuana on January 29, 1996, in State College.
Robinson was already charged with drug delivery resulting in death
after Rhonda L. Aughey, 23, was found dead on February 21, 1996,
from an overdose of cocaine and heroin in a hotel room she shared
with Robinson. The room was at the Courtyard by Marriott, 1730
University Drive.
The charge was thrown out by Centre County President Judge Charles
Brown Jr. based on a state Supreme Court ruling that the charge
is unconstitutional.
Robinson will be tried, however, for the alleged rape of a 14-year-old
girl in July 1995 and the alleged indecent assault of a 15-year-old
girl in April 1995 in Robinson's car.
These charges are unrelated to last week's conviction.
A sentencing date for the drug charges has been set for April
15.
