Trial Date Set for Man Charged With Felony Drug Possession

A trial date has been set for April of next year in District Court for a man charged with multiple counts of drug possession. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

On October 25 49-year-old Tracy Duff was arrested and charged with one count of felony possession of methamphetamine in crystalline form for being in possession of an amount in excess of three grams; one count of possession of methamphetamine in liquid form for possessing an amount in excess of 3/10 of a gram and one count of misdemeanor possession of marijuana. The drugs were found during a search of a residence in Sheridan where Duff had been staying. The search was executed by the Sheridan Police Department.

Duff pleaded not guilty to all three of the alleged charges at an arraignment hearing Tuesday in Fourth Judicial District Court in Sheridan.
