24-year-old pleads not guilty to drug charge
Published Friday, November 13, 2009
An Austin man charged with felony drug possession pleaded not guilty Thursday in Mower County court.
Chase Randall Miller, 24, faces one count of felony fifth-degree drug possession.
He will appear for a pre-trial hearing Feb. 5. His trial would then begin Feb. 16.
According to a criminal complaint, Miller’s 911 10th Ave. SE residence was searched by police Oct. 9.
Authorities found a jar containing 4 grams of marijuana, as well as pipes and a police scanner in the living room.
In an adjacent room, police found a fake dictionary that had a digital scale and three bags of “high grade” marijuana inside. The bags totaled 56 grams.
A cell phone apparently belonging to Miller was also found that had messages relating to drug trafficking, the complaint states.
Authorities also searched Miller’s car and found three small bags of marijuana.
The complaint does not indicate why Miller was the subject of the police search.

Does he work at QPP? They seem to like to hire guys like him. Naw, he was probably rejected for speaking english.

haha. Sounds like his job was selling drugs. I don't think he's intelligent enough to work at Qpp. He should have been working there instead of selling drugs. Too lazy to earn an honest living and afraid of hard work.

But outsidein - the government says pot is bad, and they don't make mistakes. The people who feel better during chemo are just not understanding the huge damage they are doing to themselves. The government is right to protect us.
Sure we are spending Billions in the drug war every year and not making any significant progress but the results are not important. That feeling of safety is what matters. We cannot question the law - only condemn those who break it. We are right to spend our grandchildrens money, because that is legal.
You are a radical subversive counter societal menace.
And I salute you.

Doesn't sound like that police scanner was doing him much good. Too much bong resin on the brain?

The article does not state the business owner was at the place of business at the time the STATE siezed his property - that may have something to do with the scanner not proving to be effective.

Pot? Seriously, who cares.

I am an old guy, non-smoker of any kind of product, who feels we should legalize pot and tax the hell out of it.
I wonder how self-righteous some folks would be if we imposed the same penalties on alcohol ala prohibition?

Will he get the same sentence as Curt Rudd?

First I wanna say the herald has a lot of the info wrong about this case. He has not even entered a plea yet!!!! And its bull that all you ppl judge and just decide he is a bad person because of his mistake. Alcohol ruins more lives than pot ever has and people can drive their car to a bar to drink alcohol and then drive. Thats real safe. Never hear about potheads causing any harm to anyone or running into a tree cuz they were high thats because it doesn't happen.
