Resisting arrest: James Riley May, 27, of 1105 First Street, Canonsburg, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, flight to avoid apprehension and false identification by state police Wednesday. According to the criminal complaint, police pulled May over at East Wylie Avenue and Meadow Avenue for a traffic violation. May allegedly provided police with a false name and attempted to flee on foot. District Judge Joshua Kanalis denied bond, as May was on probation and had an active warrant for his arrest.

Liquor violation: State police cited the Circle K bar on West Chestnut Street for selling alcohol to a 19-year-old.
