HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 29-year-old Hutchinson man charged with the alleged distribution of drugs was in court this week where he was bound over for trial.

Brian Green now faces trial for possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, personal use drug paraphernalia, interference with law enforcement and aggravated false impersonation. But, the state added a charge of identity theft after testimony in the case was complete.

Green was arrested on March 23 on a warrant for the Reno County case that alleges at the time of his arrest by Hutchinson Police, he had between 3.5 and 100 grams of methamphetamine on him, as well as the paraphernalia which the state alleges was used to distribute drugs. He also allegedly had a small amount of marijuana on him and gave the name of Shawn Green, which they later learned was not his name.

Green is back in prison for convictions for the manufacturing of methamphetamine, conspiracy to manufacture, possession of opiates and arson convictions here in Reno County from 2004. He was also convicted for having a precursor to manufacturing meth for a case in Rice County that same year. In Harvey County, Green has convictions for having a precursor to manufacture meth and flee and elude for a case that goes back to 2007. All of these convictions are still active and he is serving time for a parole violation. He could be released from prison again in November.

With him being bound for trial in this latest case, arraignment will be Monday in front of District Judge Trish Rose.
