FARRELL, SHARON

Man accused of making threats faces more charges

A Farrell man charged with drugs and weapons violations was arrested on a warrant Thursday, police said.

Raymond Wilson, 27, of 802 Lee Ave., Farrell, was arrested at 2 p.m. at the office of District Justice James E. McMahon, Sharon, on a Southwest warrant charging him with carrying a firearm without a license, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, possession of cocaine and marijuana and possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, police said.

Sharon police spotted Wilson at 2 p.m. Nov. 28 along George Street and called for assistance from Southwest to arrest him on a warrant charging him with failing to make payments, said Southwest police, who filed charges Jan. 3.

Wilson threw off a coat and ran, but was caught shortly afterward at George and Fruit Avenue, Farrell, and was handcuffed after a brief struggle, police said.

Wilson had a bag of cocaine, a bag of marijuana, $19 and a pager, police said.

A small-caliber revolver with five rounds of .22-caliber cartridges and a spent shell were found in the coat, police said.

Wilson was at McMahon's office Thursday for a preliminary hearing on charges of making terroristic threats, criminal mischief and harassment filed by Sharon police.

The hearing was continued.

In the Sharon case, Wilson went Christmas Eve to a home in the 400 block of Prindle Street, threw a large rock and an empty liquor bottle through a window and threatened to kill the woman inside, police said.

Wilson was taken to Mercer County Jail after his arraignment before District Justice Henry J. Russo, Hermitage, on the Southwest charges after failing to post $30,000 bond. His preliminary hearing was set for 2 p.m. Jan. 18.
