A Beaver Meadows man faces multiple drug charges after a Jan. 23 incident.

Joseph McTiernan, 35, was charged with possession with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia by McAdoo police.

Police served a search warrant on East Grant Street in reference to a theft investigation. A backpack was recovered during a search which contained a picture of McTiernan, along with more than 37 grams of crystal-like material that tested positive for methamphetamine.

A digital scale, many small zippered bags and a glass tube with residue were also found. A search of McTiernan’s wallet was recovered with a dollar bill containing powder, which he told police was methamphetamine.
