BEAVER - An Industry man was cleared Friday of all charges for bringing a gun to a presidential campaign rally last year.

John Noble, 51, smiled broadly after the jury pronounced him not guilty of a misdemeanor charge of disrupting a public gathering.

Beaver County Judge Harry Knafelc also found Noble not guilty of a summary charge of disorderly conduct, although Knafelc said Noble performed a “foolish” act by wearing the gun at the Aug. 29 Obama-Biden campaign rally in Beaver.
