Clear Lake man pleads not guilty to meth dealing charge out of Hancock County
GARNER — A rural Clear Lake man has pleaded not guilty to a drug charge out of Hancock County.
26-year-old Trevor Myers was charged with conspiring with the intent to manufacture or deliver methamphetamine over five grams after being arrested last month.
A criminal complaint states that a Hancock County deputy spoke with four separate citizens in the past year who stated Myers distributed methamphetamine in Hancock County.
One person in December told authorities that Myers would acquire meth daily for distribution starting in 2019. An investigation allegedly identified messages where Myers was actively distributing more than five grams of meth and receiving cash for the distribution of the drug. The complaint states that Myers was stopped by law enforcement on May 22nd with meth being discovered.
An arrest warrant was served on Myers on March 7th by the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office.
Myers has filed a written plea of not guilty and demand for a speedy trial. District Judge Chris Foy has set Myers trial to start on April 30th in Hancock County District Court.
