LIBERTY

A man who was charged with obstructing official business while police investigated a shooting appeared for arraignment in Girard Municipal Court on Tuesday.

Adham Aburahma, 18, of Trumbull Avenue did not enter a plea because the charge is a felony.

A date will be set for a preliminary hearing in the case.

His $7,500 personal-recognizance bond was continued.

A man in a minivan delivering newspapers on Belmont Avenue about 4:20 a.m. Nov. 20 told police he was shot at and an SUV had been following him, according to a police report.

Aburahma was driving the SUV, according to the report.

Aburahma’s store, Belmont Wireless, had been broken into about 2 a.m., according to a report.

Police began to pat down Aburahma when he pulled away and made a threatening statement, a report says. He was handcuffed, taken to the station and charged.

Police never found a weapon, though they did find a bullet hole in the driver’s side of the van.
