Britt man pleads not guilty to drug charge

BRITT — A Britt man has pleaded not guilty to drug charges.

A criminal complaint states that 26-year-old Trinity Thompson was seen driving on 190th Street on November 21st.

Thompson was charged with intent to manufacture or deliver meth over five grams, a Class B felony, as well as driving while barred as an habitual offender, an aggravated misdemeanor.

Thompson filed a written plea of not guilty on Tuesday in Hancock County District Court. His trial is scheduled for January 22nd.
