Judge Joe McCarville on Wednesday set a preliminary hearing date for a 35-year-old Hutchinson man arrested twice for alleged drug sales and then a third arrest for indirect contempt.

Jason Hadley remains jailed with bonds totaling 1-million, 15-thousand dollars and the hearing now scheduled for August 29, at 3:30 p-m.

Hadley was arrested on August 3, for allegedly making contact with an confidential informant, or as the defendant referred to as a snitch, a violation of the condition of his bond. Hadley allegedly sent a number of text messages to that informant.

Judge McCarville had stated during a previous hearing that he would consider a reduction in bond if the defense could come up with a plan that would include some type of electronic monitoring or other safety measures. They apparently have not been able to do that.

The state has filed additional charges of intimidation of a witness and violation of a no contact order

In his drug cases, Hadley is charged with three counts for the sale of methamphetamine, allegedly less then a gram each time. He is also charged with two counts of unlawful use of a communications facility, namely a telephone to arrange a drug transaction and no tax stamp for the drugs. That was on July 14.

Back on June 19, he was arrested and 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 Diazapam pill, and no drug tax stamp.

Again, a preliminary hearing scheduled for August 29.
