Man charged with drug possession

A Boalsburg man is in prison on $25,000 bail after police say he trespassed in a Penn State student's apartment Sunday night and on a previous occasion, and was found later that Sunday with 138 ecstasy pills and 14.6 grams of marijuana.

Police say 20-year-old Zachariah J. Johnson was found in the living room of a female Penn State student's 400-block of S. Atherton Street apartment Sunday night after reportedly entering through a window for the second time in two days.

Johnson entered through the apartment window looking for his girlfriend, who is a resident of the apartment and was not there during either of the incidents, according to court documents.

On the occasion Sunday night, the female who called authorities left through the fire escape after Johnson told her he was not going to leave, according to the affidavit.

As police were on their way to the scene, Johnson exited through the fire escape and fled the apartment, police said.

That's when another police officer heard the reports and spotted Johnson, according to court documents.

With police car emergency lights activated, the officer stopped Johnson while he was heading southbound on Atherton Street, police said.

When Johnson reached his right hand into his pocket after being asked to place his hands on the hood of the car, the officer pulled a firearm, police said.

Johnson, 316 Lamp Post Lane, was handcuffed and taken to Centre County Correctional Facility and is charged with two felony counts of possession of controlled substance with intent to deliver, two misdemeanor counts of knowingly possessing drugs and one count of criminal trespass, according to court documents.

Johnson's preliminary hearing has yet to be scheduled, according to Centre County court officials.

The female told police Johnson had also been in the apartment alone on the Fourth of July at about 8 p.m., according to court documents.

Johnson told police he was going to smoke the marijuana himself and would not say to whom he was planning to give the ecstasy, police said.

Last year, Johnson plead guilty to theft, possession of ecstasy, defiant trespass and disorderly conduct in connection with an incident that happened Oct. 3, 2008, outside of Delta Chi fraternity, 424 E. Fairmount Ave., according to court documents.

After spending 134 days in the Centre County Correctional Facility, Johnson was granted parole April 2, according to court documents.
