A Johnstown man will face Cambria County Court action on separate charges that he robbed a man of pain medication and broke into his ex-wife’s apartment.
Kenneth Dwayne Ingram, 42, of the 300 block of Daniel Street in the city’s Oakhurst section, waived his right to preliminary hearings in both cases Tuesday before District Judge Michael Musulin of downtown Johnstown. Ingram has been released on bail.
