An Oil City man and a Pleasantville woman who tried to conceal the man from police are facing charges.
A criminal complaint filed by Oil City police says that when state parole agents went to a house on Manning Street on Friday they asked Megan Ames, 31, if anyone else was in the home, and she said no.
Agents then saw a man, Jeffrey Goodman Jr., 24, inside the residence, the complaint said.
When Oil City police arrived, they took Goodman into custody after verifying he was wanted by the Department of Corrections for escaping from the Erie Community Corrections Center, the complaint said.
Police searched a black backpack found in Goodman’s possession that contained several baggies of methamphetamine, several bundles of heroin packaged for sale, digital scales, drug paraphernalia, ledgers, multiple cell phones, and $565 in cash, the complaint said.
Ames has been charged with a felony count of hinder apprehension/prosecution — harbor or conceal.
They were arraigned and placed in the Venango County jail. Ames was unable to post bail and Goodman was denied bail due to being a flight risk.
Preliminary hearings for Ames and Goodman are scheduled today in Central Court.
