CLEARFIELD A Tyrone man will serve time in state prison for conspiring to obtain a firearm, assaulting an inmate and threatening to kill a woman.
Police say in July, Collin Bradley Gardner, 24, gave Jordan Matthew Wolfe, 24, also of Tyrone, $600 to purchase a gun from a Clearfield business.
According to the affidavit, they went into the business where Wolfe filled out the appropriate paperwork and purchased the gun, which he then gave to Gardner.
In his interview with investigators, Wolfe said Gardner told him he couldn’t purchase the gun himself because he had “court cases pending.” After the issues were resolved, Gardner said they could then transfer the ownership of the weapon to him.
