HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two people charged in a drug distribution case were scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday and both appeared in court, but then the hearing was continued to Oct. 17.

Sehara Hays and Bryon McCoy are both charged with possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute. Misdemeanor charges include possession of a prescription drug, marijuana, and personal use drug paraphernalia.

The pair was arrested after law enforcement discovered the drugs at a home in 700 block of West 21st back on April 5.

McCoy was located in a bedroom. Nearby was a Ziploc bag of marijuana and a larger bag that contained two bags of methamphetamine and several more bags for packaging.

Deputy District Attorney Tom Stanton says they’re working on a plea agreement for Hays. McCoy failed to show for a hearing in the past and his attorney apparently wasn’t prepared for the hearing, so Judge Joe McCarville continued the hearing for both to Oct 17.
