Jared Michael Konsugar, 28, of 419 Mildred Road, Belle Vernon, and Dorian Matthew Harris, 29, of 929 Meadow Ave., Charleroi, are facing charges after Charleroi Regional police responded to the Rite Aid on McKean Avenue for a report of people “shooting up” in the parking lot.

In a separate case, Harris was charged with theft for allegedly stealing items from the Rite Aid on Fifth Street in Charleroi that same day and returning the items to the Rite Aid on McKean Avenue for $90.
