GERING, Neb. (AP) — A 27-year-old Scottsbluff man who faces three drug charges also is accused of stealing from his father.
Online court records say a preliminary hearing is scheduled May 29 for Dustin Leonhardt. Jail records say he remained in custody on Thursday. His attorney didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press, seeking comment on the allegations against Leonhardt.
Leonhardt is charged with forgery and unauthorized use of a financial transaction device in addition to the three drug charges.
A court affidavit says Leonhardt used his father’s check card three times earlier this month and wrote a check on his father’s account.
The affidavit says the drugs were discovered Friday on Leonhardt and in his father’s backyard shed, where officers found and arrested Leonhardt.
