EDWARDSVILLE — A Kingston man was arrested after borough police allege he was in possession of a loaded firearm and illegal narcotics when he was found unresponsive on Beverly Drive on Tuesday.
James Davis, 40, of Payne Avenue, was found unresponsive laying on a ledge in the area of 5 Beverly Dr. just before 3 p.m., according to court records.
After Davis awakened while being treated by emergency medical technicians, an EMT spotted a firearm in Davis’ pants, court records say.
A police officer at the scene was aware Davis is prohibited from owning and carrying a firearm.
A search of Davis resulted in marijuana, suspected crack cocaine, crushed up prescription tablets mixed with opioids and $328, court records say.
Police in court records say the firearm, a Glock .45 caliber, had a magazine loaded with eight bullets.
Davis was arraigned by District Judge James Haggerty in Kingston on charges of illegal possession of a firearm, firearms not to be carried without a license, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $200,000 bail.
