A criminal complaint filed through district judge Andrew Fish’s office said Oil City police were sent to the Country Fair on Wilson Avenue Friday after receiving reports from the store manager that 42-year-old Clay Geib was pretending to wax his car in the parking lot for about an hour and a half.
During that time frame, police said witnesses observed several people approach Geib either on foot or in vehicles.
Officers made contact with Geib, as well as the other men who were speaking with him, after arriving on the scene, police said.
More conversation at the scene led officers to discover that Geib was in possession of three different prescription medications, police said.
He told officers that he previously had prescriptions for the medications, but not currently, police said.
Based on the totality of the circumstances, Geib was taken into custody and arraigned before Fish on one felony count of manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver and single misdemeanor counts of intentional possession of a controlled substance by a person not registered and use/possession of drug paraphernalia.
Geib was placed in the Venango County jail after failing to post $20,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing in the case has been tentatively scheduled for Wednesday in Central Court.
