A Jefferson man faces several charges following two alleged incidents in May.

Clouse says they executed a search warrant of his property on East Central Avenue on May 23rd and recovered 90-percent of the stolen items. Also during the search, officers seized suspected narcotics and drug-related items. Tests came back positive for marijuana. Clouse points out that Schad’s girlfriend, 45-year-old Jennifer Marie Ashby was also charged with a misdemeanors for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
