James R. Ferrier
ORWIGSBURG — A Mount Carbon man will face three separate sets of drug-related charges after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing in front of Magisterial District Judge James R. Ferrier on Tuesday in each case.
Brian E. Hawke, 33, of 57 Main St., sold methamphetamine three times this year in Cressona, police said.
He faces a total of four counts of conspiracy, three each of delivery of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia and two of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance.
Schuylkill Haven borough police filed all three sets of charges against Hawke.
They alleged he sold a baggie containing meth to a confidential informant in a controlled buy at 6:26 p.m. Feb. 1 at 3 Beech St., about 11 p.m. Feb. 25 at the same location and at 8 p.m. March 10 in the parking lot at Bethany Christian Fellowship Church, 102 Front St.
Police said they followed the same procedure in each buy, searching the confidential informant before and after each buy, prerecording the money used and field-testing the substance after each deal.
Hawke is free on a total of $50,000 unsecured bail pending further court proceedings.
