SMETHPORT — A Bradford man will serve time in state prison for concealing himself from law enforcement and possessing cocaine that was packaged for sale.
Ivan C. Williams, 34, was sentenced Thursday in McKean County Court before President Judge John Pavlock. He will serve two to four years in prison with credit for 113 days of time served for charges of possession with the intent to deliver a controlled substance and flight to avoid apprehension.
He will serve the sentence consecutive to sentences for multiple cases in Potter County.
Willams pleaded guilty Sept. 5 to allegations that between Jan. 26 and June 6, Williams, knowing he was on state parole, concealed himself to avoid apprehension. He intentionally moved around to evade arrest.
On June 6, law enforcement officials from several agencies located Williams at the Comfort Inn in Bradford and arrested him. Law enforcement on scene included U.S. Marshals, Bradford City police, state police and Bradford Township police. When he was taken into custody, Williams possessed 3.5 grams of cocaine that was packaged for sale.
