Thomas Gonzalez Jr., 58, of 1768 Memorial Ave., was charged by the county’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit with delivery of a controlled substance and illegal use of a cellphone for allegedly arranging the sale of 3.5 grams of methamphetamine to an informant at Berger Street and Sutton Avenue in the city on July 26, it was alleged in court documents. Detectives intercepted Gonzalez before the sale was complete, and the methamphetamine he was planning to sell was seized, investigators said. Arraigned last week before District Judge Gary Whiteman, Gonzalez remains jailed in lieu of $10,000 bail.

In another case, Jeffrey Kaelin, 35, of 658 Krouse Ave., has been charged by city police with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with evidence following an incident in which he was found slumped over a laundry table in the 1200 block of Vine Avenue on April 23, according to an affidavit. He had in his hand a plastic bag that he immediately put in his mouth and swallowed when an officer asked him what it was. He was taken to UPMC Williamsport, and during the ride, he “became more and more lethargic, and started to fall asleep,” the court document statement. He had in his pocket a bag of marijuana, police said. Upon being discharged, he was automatically placed in the Lycoming County Prison after it was learned that there was a bench warrant for his arrest. Arraigned recently before District Judge Christian Frey, Kaelin remains jailed in lieu of $5,000 bail. He has since waived his preliminary hearing.
