A man from Coaldale was found guilty of possessing a firearm when not being permitted to do so, but not guilty of aggravated assault of a police officer Thursday.

Nathan Blose, 36, of Coaldale, remains free on bail. He was found guilty of the firearm charge, having a firearm without a license, both felonies, and guilty of simple assault. He was found not guilty of aggravated assault on a police officer and resisting arrest.

Schuylkill County Judge Cyrus Dolbin ordered probation and parole to prepare a presentence investigation. Sentencing is 11 a.m. Oct. 14 in courtroom 6.

Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Foose said the commonwealth is pleased with the verdict.

“Let that be a lesson that we should not be carrying guns when we are not permitted to do so,” she said.

William Burke, Blose’s attorney, declined to comment.
