HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After a number of delays, the preliminary hearing for a Hutchinson man arrested on drug distribution charges was held Monday where he was bound over for trial.
Jesse Aich now faces trial on charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to package, possession of three other drugs (hydrocodone, oxycodone and morphine), as well as a final count of personal use drug paraphernalia.
The case started with a search warrant served on his residence where he apparently lived in a basement bedroom. Inside that room, law enforcement allegedly found a baggie that contained a crystal substance, a baggie containing a powder substance, a digital scale with white residue, new packaging materials, used baggies with residue, two 100-count boxes of syringes, glass pipes with burnt residue they say was used to smoke meth, several types of pills and over $1,000 in cash.
He’ll be arraigned on the charges on July 6.
