New Drug Charge Against Bradford Man

One of the men charged in the New Year’s Eve sweep by the McKean County Drug Task Force is facing another drug charge.

35-year-old Justin Jones was arraigned Tuesday afternoon for having 13 Percocet pills he didn’t have a prescription for back on December 17. Police found the pills in a cigarette pack during a traffic stop for an expired registration after Jones consented to a search.

In the drug task force case, Jones is accused of selling Suboxone from his Hedgehog Lane home.

On the new charge, he’s jailed on $10,000 bail.

I can't seem to find the story on here about how George B. Duke Jr., 24, of Bradford, was sentenced Thursday in McKean County Court to only probation for possession of 26 packets of heroin in the car, along with syringes, burned spoons with heroin residue, a pipe, marijuana seeds and loose prescription pills.

Does this light sentence have anything to do with him being the son of a Bradford businessman? I'm sure it doesn't.
