The case for a 35-year-old Hutchinson man arrested twice for alleged drug sales and a third time for indirect contempt will proceed to trial at this point.
Jason Hadley faces two counts for the sale of methamphetamine, and one count for simple possession of meth, allegedly less then a gram each time. He’s also charged with three counts of unlawful use of a communications device, namely a telephone to arrange a drug transaction and no tax stamp for the drugs. A charge of intimidation of witness is a misdemeanor offense and the defense had earlier requested a jury trial for that charge as well.
Judge Tim Chambers Friday asked his attorney, Charlie O’Hara if there’s a plea agreement in the case and O’Hara said “no, not at this time,” although he stated he believes one can still be worked out. Judge Chambers told him, if you get an agreement prior to any trial date set, they can set a date to handle it.
The judge did not set a date for the trial at this point, but that will be done soon, meaning any trial would be in later spring or summer.
