HUGHESVILLE - A Jersey Shore man faces charges for allegedly passing a bad check and providing false information on an application when he purchased a firearm at Dixie's Gunshop, 230 N. Railroad St., on Aug. 28, state police said.
Erik Allen Hoffman, 22, of 303 Smith St., is accused of writing a $685 check on a closed account to the business, police said. The issue concerning the application had to do with employer information, police said.
