On Wednesday Rinehart waived his right to a preliminary hearing during centralized court at the Clearfield County Jail.
The charges stemmed from the execution of a search warrant at a residence, located in the 200 block of Laura Street, Philipsburg, on April 27, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
Rinehart was found to be in possession of multiple items of drug paraphernalia, including smoking devices, hoses, scales, a plastic container labeled “Tweeker Box” and packaging materials.
He was allegedly found to be in possession of 12 containers of suspected methamphetamine, 13 containers of suspected cocaine, five containers of suspected bath salts, two Suboxone strips and 12 unknown pills.
The suspected methamphetamine and cocaine were both field tested by state police and showed positive results for the drugs.
