CLEARFIELD – A Mineral Springs man facing felony drug charges for possessing multiple drugs when a search warrant was executed on his residence in February of 2022 was sentenced Friday.
Multiple agencies including Pennsylvania State Police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Attorney General’s office and Lawrence Township police assisted with the search of the home of Robert Alan Charles, 42, of Mineral Springs, according to previous reports.
Charles pleaded guilty to felony manufacture/delivery/possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance before Judge Paul E. Cherry, who sentenced him to nine months to 18 months in jail with three years concurrent probation.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, as they were approaching the house, an officer saw a second-story window open and a man later confirmed to be Charles, putting a mason jar on the roof. He then closed the window.

During an interview with investigators, Charles admitted to putting the jar on the roof. He reportedly stated that he had just received six ounces of methamphetamine of which he had already sold two ounces.
The jar was found to contain the 100 grams of methamphetamine, 10 grams of heroin and seven grams of crack cocaine, according to the criminal complaint.
Additional containers with small amounts of methamphetamine and other suspected drugs were also located in the home.
