WARREN, Pa. — Two Jamestown men pled to possession with intent to deliver and other drug related charges during plea court this week in Warren, Pa.

Roshad J. Roberts pled guilty to possession with intent to deliver and possession of a controlled substance.

He was charged in July, and arrested on Sept. 1 for selling ecstasy to a confidential informant working for the Warren County Drug Task Force, once in late 2015 and again in early 2016.

The informant contacted Roberts via text messages to arrange both purchases.

The first one occurred on Christmas Day 2015 when “at approximately (5:20 p.m.) the defendant pulled into the lot next to the CI’s vehicle,” according to the affidavit of probable cause.

Roberts was a passenger in a blue Chevrolet HHR bearing New York State plates. He “exited the Chevrolet and entered” the CI’s vehicle “and exited minutes later. The CI returned to the predetermined location and turned over 4.5 grams of a brown/white powdery substance. This substance flashed positive for MDMA when tested by officers,” the affidavit states.

Similar arrangements were executed for the Jan. 7 buy.

“At approximately (7:03 p.m.) the defendant pulled into the lot next to the CI’s vehicle.” He was again the passenger in a black Dodge Nitro with New York State plates.

After the exchange, which occurred in the CI’s vehicle, “the CI returned to the predetermined location and turned over 6.6 grams of a brown/white powdery substance.”

Each buy cost $320.

District Attorney Rob Greene said that a condition of the plea is that Roberts pay $640 back in buy money to the WCDTF, money which he has already paid but is currently being held in escrow.

In exchange for the plea, charges including possession with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance and two counts of criminal use of a communications facility were not prosecuted.

Bryan R. Steele, Warren, pled guilty to possession with intent to deliver as well as three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

In reading the charges, Senior Judge William Morgan, who accepted the plea for both men, said that Steele was found with 13 live marijuana plants as well as pots, grow lamps and mixing bowls all “commonly used for growing marijuana.”

In exchange for the plea, seven counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and single counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver and persons not to posess, use, etc. firearms.

First Assistant District Attorney Caleb Gnage said he spoke to the arresting officer regarding the firearms charge and said there was some question regarding who owned the weapon involved.
