Trial date set for Chapman

Tyler Chapman, 24, St. John, pleaded not guilty in superior court Friday morning to charges of possession of methamphetamine and possession of heroin. He has been scheduled for an Oct. 15 trial.

Chapman was one of two people arrested July 5 at an Oakesdale residence after deputies allegedly received a tip that drugs were being sold there.

The charges against Chapman were amended Friday morning in court to possession of the two drugs. He was originally charged last week with possession of the two drugs with intent to deliver.

Cody Varner, 21, who resides at the residence on McCoy Street in Oakesdale, pleaded not guilty to charges of possession of the same two drugs last week in court.
