MAN CHARGED IN HANDGUN INCIDENT

Oldtown resident Wayne Anthony Pankey faces numerous charges in connection with an incident early Saturday morning on Brice Hollow Road. Pankey allegedly pointed a loaded handgun at a family member. He was taken into custody by Allegany County Sheriff’s deputies. In a search of the residents, two handguns were recovered, one of which had been reported stolen in a 2018 incident in Frostburg. The second handgun couldn’t be checked because the serial number had been filed down; Pankey was prohibited from possessing firearms, due to previous convictions. He remained jailed, pending an appearance in District Court.
