WILKES-BARRE — The district attorney withdrew two felony charges for having a gun with a changed serial number from Michael James Roupas, 34, and Tammy Marie Tosline, 43, at a preliminary hearing in Luzerne County Central Court on Wednesday.
Wilkes-Barre police accused the couple while looking into a domestic disturbance at a home on South Hancock Street on March 12.
According to court documents, officers saw an empty holster and inquired about a firearm in the home.
The court records reveal that a 9mm pistol with a tampered serial number was discovered concealed among dog toys.
Police stated in court documents that the gun was sent to Roupas from a residence in North Carolina.
Roupas, represented by Attorney Theron Solomon, and Tosline, represented by Attorney William L. Stephens Jr., waived illegal possession of a firearm to county court.
