A man was recently convicted in Lancaster County Court of possessing cocaine with the intent to deliver while he was on state parole after a two-day trial.

Ian Stewart, 26 of the 300 block of Valley Road, was found guilty by a jury on May 17 of possession with intent to deliver cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The jury deliberated for about 20 minutes.

On September 11, 2020, around 11:12 a.m., members of the Pennsylvania Department of Probation and Parole searched Stewart’s residence and located approximately 52 grams of cocaine, a digital scale containing cocaine residue, packaging materials and $2,485. This was reported to the Lancaster County Drug Task Force.

The defendant had been on parole following a prison sentence for fighting with officers and possessing 780 Xanax tablets and other drug paraphernalia in 2016.

Stewart is currently in Lancaster County Prison on $200,000 bail.

Lancaster County Judge Dennis Reinaker presided over trial and will order sentence at a later date.

Assistant District Attorney Cody Wade prosecuted the case.

Lancaster County Drug Task Force Detective Thomas Ziegler filed charges.
