The 35-year-old man arrested on June 19 on charges associated with the alleged sale of drugs was in court, but was never read the complaint. Magistrate Judge Randy McEwen merely noted that Wichita Attorney Charlie O’Hara had entered his appearance for Jason Hadley and the case would be placed on a waiver-status docket on July 11.
Hadley who lives in an apartment at 2900 Acres Rd., owner of Caribbean Tan in Hutchinson is free on a 29-thousand dollar bond for allegedly being in possession of steroids, in fact there were allegedly 16-glass bottles inside his apartment. He apparently came home as the search was being conducted and was a passenger in a white car. A search of that vehicle led to the discovery of a flashlight. Inside was allegedly a baggie containing 18-grams of ice methamphetamine, and they also found one Diazapam pill, not in any bottle inside the apartment.
Hadley is now formally charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell within a 1,000 feet of Holly Cross School, possession of steroids with intent to sell, possession of the pill, and no drug tax stamp. However, he was not read the formal complaint.
The next hearing will be part of a waiver-status docket on July 11 and the complaint will be read to him then.
O’Hara is wasting no time as Hadley’s attorney, already requesting all discovery in the case.
