PA man was discovered 'skulking about'

A Johnstown, PA, man was discovered ‘skulking about’ early Monday in the Fourth Ward and was held at Indiana County Jail to face charges locally and in Cambria County. Indiana Borough police found Q’Wante Rose, 19, hiding between vehicles on North 11th Street between Water and Oak streets at 12:42 a.m. and seized an unlicensed handgun from him, according to a report.

Police said Rose had some pot and paraphernalia in his possession. Officers charged Rose with a felony count of carrying a firearm without a permit, misdemeanor counts of possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia and an ungraded charge of possession of a gun by a fugitive.

A hearing has been set for May 25 in Homer City District Court.

Johnstown City police had charged Rose on April 28 with robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, possession of an unlicensed gun, simple assault and terroristic threats and obtained a warrant for his arrest. The charges stem from an incident on Sept. 16, 2020 in the city.
