There are a number of court proceedings happening at the Indiana County Courthouse today.
That includes a jury trial for 45-year-old Jonathan Thoma, who is formerly from Seward and is now listed as being from Blairsville. Thoma also has pending cases in Cambria and Blair counties. Here in Indiana County, he’s charged with false identification to law enforcement and disorderly conduct engaging in fighting for an incident last August. Charges of flight to avoid apprehension and resisting arrest were previously dismissed.
Thoma’s case in Blair County involves a high-speed chase in February of 2017. In Cambria County, Thoma has an inactive case for a probation violation in a theft case.
