On February 6th, 2023 at approximately 0302 hrs City of Bradford Police were dispatched to 2 Kiwanis Ct. for an unwanted male knocking at the door. The caller believed the male may have had a gun.

Officers arrived on scene and located Daniel A. Gillespie in the stairwell. Officers found Gillespie to have a 40. caliber handgun and he did not have a valid concealed carry permit.

Gillespie was taken into custody and found to have drug paraphernalia on him and inside the vehicle he came from.

Officers determined that Gillespie was at that location attempting to buy drugs when another male took his money and never returned. Gillespie was attempting to locate the male and knocking on the wrong doors until Police arrived and took him into custody.

Gillespie was taken to Magistrate Cercone’s for arraignment and bail was set at $10,000 cash. Gillespie did not post bail at that time and was remanded to McKean County Jail but has since posted bail. Preliminary hearing is set in the matter.
