Prelim. to be held today in crack case
A preliminary hearing for Anthony Raymond Miller is scheduled for today in connection with his alleged involvement in dealing crack cocaine.
Police said Miller, 37, attempted to sell crack cocaine to an undercover agent in State College on July 30.
Police said Miller called undercover agent Albert Adams to set up the deal, and he later delivered $400 worth of crack cocaine to the officer.
Police said Miller delivered the drugs along with Tammy Jo Sheaffer, 28, and Ramon Marquis McCray, 26.
Charges against Sheaffer and McCray were sent to trial at an Aug. 8 preliminary hearing. Miller's hearing was also scheduled for Aug. 8 but was delayed because of an ongoing investigation.
Police charged Miller with possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver, criminal use of a communication facility and criminal conspiracy.
Miller, Sheaffer and McCray are being held in the Centre County Correctional Facility in lieu of $75,000 each.
Man pleads guilty to local crimes
A Howard man pleaded guilty to five charges, stemming from two separate incidents in State College, at his sentencing yesterday.
Wade Scott Myers pleaded guilty to two separate counts of receiving stolen property, and one count each of theft from a motor vehicle, criminal mischief and purchase, consumption, possession or transportation of liquor or malt or brewed beverages. He was sentenced to 13 months of probation, 49 days to 23 1/2 months in prison and $500 in fines.
Myers was charged with criminal mischief after police said he punched the hood of his girlfriend's mother's car, causing about $1,110 in damage at about 6:30 p.m. March 17, according to court documents. Myers must also pay back the about $1,110 in restitution costs.
He was charged with theft from a motor vehicle, purchase, consumption, possession or transportation of liquor or malt or brewed beverages and two charges of receiving stolen property after he was stopped on Foster Avenue on May 23, according to court documents.
Police said he was carrying a backpack that contained a 1.75 liter bottle of Tattoo rum, an 80 GB iPod, Monster car cables, a 2 GB iPod with charger and a cell phone charger -- all found to be stolen from two vehicles, collectively valued at more than $600, according to court documents.
