The grading of two charges against a Bradford man accused of DUI and drug allegations has changed.
Lucas J. Rice, 21, waived a preliminary hearing in the case Wednesday before District Judge Richard Luther.
Two charges of driving under the influence of a controlled substance were also amended to be first-degree misdemeanors instead of ungraded misdemeanors because there was a minor in the vehicle with him, according to court records.
In addition to the DUI charges, Rice faces charges of possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance, a felony; firearms not to be carried without a license, a third-degree felony; possession of an offensive weapon, a first-degree misdemeanor; possession of a small amount of marijuana for personal use and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors; and seven summary charges, court records stated.
According to court records, law enforcement officials discovered during a traffic stop that Rice allegedly possessed a handgun, a magazine with 24 rounds, 44.9 grams of marijuana, brass knuckles, a glass smoking device, baggies, a grinder and a scale.
He is incarcerated in McKean County Jail in lieu of $30,000 bail.
