Uniontown man charged with possessing gun at magistrate
A Uniontown man is facing multiple felony charges after he was allegedly found with a gun at a local magistrate and threatened police following an arrest on bench warrants.
State constables arrested Alexander Samuel Huffman, 24, of Pershing Court, Wednesday morning, on multiple summary and domestic warrants for unpaid child support.
They took him to Magisterial District Judge Nathan A. Henning’s office in North Union Township where he was placed in a holding cell, according to court paperwork.
Constables called state police for assistance when he allegedly began kicking at the holding cell and yelling threats at them. A trooper found a gun under the bench with three rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Huffman’s case.
He was taken to the state police barracks, and reportedly told a trooper, “If I see you in Persh, chitty chitty bang bang, n—,” and, “Better have your vest on.”
Huffman is facing six counts each of aggravated assault, terroristic threats, simple assault and disorderly conduct, and one count each of firearms not to be carried without a license, institutional vandalism and possession of a firearm in court facility.
He is lodged in Fayette County Prison in lieu of a $75,000 bond.
