Hutch man arrested on drug charges scheduled for court Tuesday

A 31-year-old Hutchinson man charged with possession of drugs after a routine traffic stop is scheduled to be in court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing.

Jeffrey Miller is accused of being in possession of cocaine and marijuana, both with intent to sell within a thousand feet of Hutchinson High School, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to package, and two counts of no tax stamp.

Miller was stopped by Reno County Sheriff Deputy Corey Graber at U-S 50 and Airport Road back on August 14, 2011, which led to the search of his vehicle where they allegedly found a Ziplock bag that contained the pot which weighed around 29-grams. They also found a Glock 26, which was confirmed stolen from Great Bend. He also allegedly found a bag with white residue that field tested positive for cocaine.

His home at 1002 North Cleveland was also searched where a jar was found that allegedly contained marijuana, a plastic bag that contained a white powder which weighed about 7-grams, several digital scales, new and used pakaging materials, and owe sheets. They also found just over 12-thousand dollars in a dresser separated into four bundles. Another 2-thousand dollars was reportedly found in his girlfriends purse.

The hearing scheduled for Tuesday is in front of Judge Joe McCarville.
