Hutchinson— A Kansas man who was taken to jail on April 1, was back in court Friday for the formal reading of charges.

Joshua Stucky, 29, Prairie was stopped by a Reno County Sheriff’s Deputy around 12:40 a.m. after he was allegedly driving erratically on Pretty Prairie Road.

Officers testified they determined he was under the influence of some substance. They also noticed a spoon on the floorboard that appeared to have a white substance in it.

In a backpack, officers allegedly found a bag of suspected marijuana, a scale, additional baggies, a bag of meth and other paraphernalia that included a pipe.

He appeared before Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen via the video hookup with the Reno County Correctional Facility where he was read the complaint that includes felony charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of methamphetamine, possession of hydrocodone and drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute.

There are also two misdemeanor charges including DUI and no insurance.

In court, he requested a bond reduction, however Judge Allen reminded him that she already lowered it once and told him for four felonies, a $5,500 bond is reasonable.

The case against Stucky now moves to waiver-status docket on May 4.
