SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) – A former assistant football coach at Sidney High School has pleaded not guilty to drug charges.
41-year-old Robert Lewis entered a written plea on Wednesday in Cheyenne County District Court.
Lewis was charged with three drug charges after a traffic stop in Sidney in November. Court documents show Nebraska State Patrol troopers found marijuana and hashish in his car.
Lewis had been on the coaching staff for ten years. He no longer works for the school district.
Court records show Judge Derek Weimer has recused himself from the case, which has been assigned to Judge Travis P. O’Gorman. A hearing is set for Feb. 1.
