HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Two people charged in a case from last year were in court Thursday morning for the reading of charges.
John Galestine and Darla Conners are both charged with the cultivation of marijuana, that being 100 or more plants as well as being in possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to distribute a controlled substance for sale. The alleged crimes occurred in Buhler between Jan. 30 and Feb. 3, 2014.
The first count against the two is a level one drug felony with a sentencing range between 11 years and 8 months to 17 years in prison.
In court, Judge Joe McCarville set bond for both at $5,000, even though Conners had to be brought back to Reno County from Pennsylvania.
The cases against the two will move to a waiver-status docket on Oct. 14.
