One of the three individuals involved in a drug bust last August is scheduled for a plea court hearing today in Indiana County Court.
33-year-old Michale Anthony Mignano of Plumville was one of three people charged by state police for an August 20, 2021 investigation into drug activity in Washington Township. Police say that troopers were called out to an area on Bash Road after receiving a complaint of drug-related activity at a nearby home. Police saw a black car leave the residence and tried to pull the driver over for an expired registration, but the suspect fled. Mignano was one of the passengers in the vehicle, along with Travis Gibson of Indiana, and the driver was 36-year-old Kimberley Anne Caylor of Creekside. The chase reached speeds of 75 miles an hour before Caylor pulled into a parking lot and surrendered.
Police found some drug paraphernalia in the vehicle, and Caylor said she told one of the two to throw a magnetic box out the window during the chase. That box was recovered and it contained 185 baggies of heroin. Mignano tried to provide police with a false name, but his identity was later discovered. When he was searched, police found suspected meth, a syringe and marijuana.
Mignano is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance, of marijuana and of drug paraphernalia, possession with intent to deliver, along with false ID to police and criminal use of a communications facility.
