More Legal Troubles for Joshua Wade

Joshua Wade -- the man described as a "person of interest" in Mindy Schloss' disappearance -- is facing additional charges. Federal authorities say Wade has been indicted on additional charges involving drugs and firearms. The indictment says Wade possessed a .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol in July and August. It alleges that Wade also used and was addicted to marijuana at the time he possessed the gun.

It also says that Wade possessed marijuana inside the Anchorage
jail following his September 2nd arrest for bank fraud. The 27-year-old Wade was Mindy Schloss' next door neighbor. The 52-year-old nurse was reported missing on August 6th. It wasn't until six weeks later that her body was found in Wasilla. Dental records were used to confirm her identity. Wade was arrested about a month after Schloss' disappearance and turned over to the FBI. He was charged with bank fraud for allegedly using Schloss' ATM card.

Police say Wade's DNA also was found on the steering wheel of
Schloss' car. Wade is scheduled to go on trial January 7th on the bank fraud charge.
