A former New London man accused of selling marijuana pleaded "not guilty" to the three felonies Tuesday in Huron County Common Pleas Court.
Cody L. Catania, 31, of Mansfield, has a trial scheduled for Jan. 8. If convicted of all three trafficking in marijuana charges, he faces up to three years in prison and a fine totaling $7,500. The felonies are in connection with incidents on June 1, 13 and 19.
The Huron County Sheriff's Office took Catania into custody late Monday night after Richland County sheriff's deputies reported having him in custody on a local secret indictment. He was transported to the Huron County Jail without incident.
Huron County Prosecutor Russell Leffler had requested Catania be held on a $5,000 bond with a 10-percent provision. However, since the defendant started a new job about a month-and-a-half ago and was supposed to report to work at noon Tuesday, Judge Jim Conway had Catania released on a personal recognizance bond.
Catania is subject to random drug screens.

lol...to which job will he be going to work?
Why didn't someone run against the joke Conway, shows you how weak the Huron County Bar Association is......
WOW a job. Wonder if he had to pee in a cup to get that job? Or if the job knows what his partime gig is? Where do these druggies and dealers find jobs. ALMOST all employers require a pee test these days. I make the first bet that he is either arrested again, misses his court date, or pees dirty before Jan. 8
...sheesh, people, give the guy some credit. At least he's working two jobs... at least that demonstrates ambition...
Deal opiates,you get off easier for a more deadly drug then a plant! What is wrong with that picture?
