A Coraopolis man is facing charges for having a variety of drugs in his possession in the parking lot of Spanky’s in Cranberry Township last month.
Franklin state police said in a criminal complaint they were called to Spanky’s on Feb. 22 for a report of a man and woman passed out in a vehicle in the parking lot.
The man, later identified as John Soltesz, 37, of Coraopolis, was obviously under the influence of drugs, the complaint said.
Soltesz also gave police a false name, the complaint said.
Soltesz was found to be in possession of about 43 grams of fentanyl, 58 pills of clonazepam, 28 grams of liquid morphine, four tramadol pills, five suboxone strips, five buprenorphine pills and 38 tablets of gabapentin, the complaint said.
He was charged with five felony counts of manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver, a felony count of identity theft, and misdemeanor counts of false identification to law enforcement officer, possession of a controlled substance and use/possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was arraigned and placed in the Venango County jail after being unable to post bail, and his preliminary hearing is scheduled Wednesday in Central Court.
