Marijuana Graphic

PRETTY PRAIRIE, Kan. — A 29-year-old Pretty Prairie man was taken to jail early Friday morning for DUI, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of Hydrocodone and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Joshua Stucky was stopped by a Reno County Sheriff’s Deputy around 12:40 a.m. and was then taken to jail on the charges.

Allegedly, he was driving erratically on Pretty Prairie Road. That led to the traffic stop where they determined he was under the influence of some substance. They also noticed a spoon on the floorboard that appeared to have a white substance in it. In a back pack, they found a bag of suspected marijuana, a scale, additional baggies, a bag of meth and other paraphernalia that included a pipe.

Bond in the case was set at $12,850 at the time of his arrest, but during a court appearance, Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen, over the objection of the state, agreed to lower it to $5,500.

Stucky will be back in court on April 8 for any reading of formal charges.
