LaCrosse man charged

An Oct. 16 trial date has been set for Jeffrey E. Marshall, 51, LaCrosse, after he pleaded not guilty to a charge of possession of methamphetamine Friday in superior court. Marshall was booked into jail Aug. 6 after a deputy stopped the 1989 Ford F-150 pickup truck he was driving on the Walla Walla highway in Colfax.

Marshall was allowed release on his own recognizance the next day and slated for the Aug. 11 arraignment.
