SHARON, Pa. — A man is in custody after a police incident in Mercer County on Thursday.
According to the Sharon Police Department, officers were called to the 100 block of Third Avenue at 9:31 p.m. for a man who was reportedly unconscious.
Officers arrived to find 48-year-old Brian Mosley, who they suspected to be under the influence of drugs.
