HUTCHINSON, Kan. — It was late September of last year when a Hutchinson man charged with the alleged distribution of drugs was bound over for trial, but that trial will be delayed even longer.

Brian Green 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.

The defense has filed a motion to suppress and that will delay the trial which was scheduled to begin Tuesday.

The state 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 has previous convictions involving the manufacturing of methamphetamine and associated charges in Reno, Rice and Harvey counties. He is again free on parole, but again faces trial on the current charges.

No date has been set to hear the suppression motion, but we’ll let you know.
