WJACwjactv.comDA: Man arrested in Johnstown with nearly 1K grams of marijuana, cocaine
Open questions the AI reported
The WJAC article says Hobbs was arrested with "nearly 1,000 combined grams of marijuana and cocaine"; that combined figure is not a cannabis weight and is not recorded.
Neither account reports a court outcome beyond the charges and bail; no plea or sentence is known.
The Tribune-Democrat gives separate street values for the marijuana ($2,000), the crack cocaine ($1,171) and the edibles ($288); the report records only the $2,000 marijuana value and does not add the other substances to it.
No plants, growing equipment or weight for the edible doses was reported.
The two accounts describe the arrest in slightly different terms: WJAC reports a Thursday-morning arrest and a search warrant at the home, the Tribune-Democrat a search-warrant raid; both date the event to Thursday, 27 October 2022.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in The Tribune-Democrat: Officers also seized 144 dosage units of edible marijuana, valued at $288, and 11.71 grams of crack cocaine.
