HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 48-year-old man who served time in prison and was arrested by police on drug and weapons charges will go to trial on Aug. 16.
Jacob Logan III faces trial for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, an aggravated weapons violation by a convicted felon for having a sawed-off shotgun and defacing identification marks on the weapon.
It’s unlawful for Logan to have weapons because of a prior felony in 1994 for robbery in Shawnee County. He also has a robbery conviction in Reno County as well as convictions in Geary County.
He was stopped by law enforcement around 12:45 a.m. on Aug. 5, 2015, for a tag violation. The officer then allegedly smelled marijuana. That led to a search of the vehicle and Logan’s arrest on the drugs and weapons charges.
His attorney was seeking police video in the case, but the state says it provided the defense with the only video it had. That was the defense motion for discovery.
Logan is free on a $17,000 bond and the trial will be in front of Judge Trish Rose.
