The man convicted in a large-scale fight at Austin High School last September has pleaded not guilty to selling drugs in a separate case.

Odell Dorrea McCullough, 28, pleaded not guilty Monday in Mower County court to second-degree narcotic sale in a school zone and third-degree drug sales, both felonies.

McCullough is accused of acting as a middle man in selling drugs to a confidential informant in May.

The informant bought 0.44 grams of heroin from McCullough near apartments by Austin High School, which the informant turned over to an Austin Police Department officer, according to court records.

For the AHS fight, McCullough was sentenced to five years supervised probation in March for one count of felony second-degree riot with a dangerous weapon.

Since the Sept. 28, 2015, fight, he’s been convicted of careless driving and two DWIs, both gross misdemeanors.

In the drug case, he is scheduled for a Dec. 30 pretrial and Jan. 9, 2017, jury trial.
