David Metz, a 60-year-old man from Oil City, has been charged with multiple drug-related offenses after a parole check at a house on Lees Lane uncovered drugs and paraphernalia in his bedroom. Police were tipped off when a parolee at the residence received text messages about a drug transaction and informed officers that Metz kept drugs in his nightstand. A search warrant revealed meth, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, and paraphernalia. Metz resisted police during the search and now faces numerous misdemeanor charges, including possession of controlled substances, resisting arrest, and obstructing law enforcement. Unable to post bail, Metz is in Venango County jail, with a preliminary hearing set for December 4.
