Meeker hearing continued

A pre-preliminary hearing has been continued again for a Meeker man who was arrested after officers served a search warrant on his residence across from the Town Hall.

A formal felony charge was filed in Lincoln County District Court Sep. 23 against John Henry Hagar, 34. He is accused of possession of a Controlled Dangerous Substance with the intent to distribute.

Hagar also is facing a misdemeanor count of possession of CDS.

Meeker Assistant Police Chief Scott Wilson said eight Meeker Police officers and one from Prague began serving the search warrant that evening on Sep. 19 as the Meeker Town Board was holding its monthly meeting across the street.

The assistant chief said when officers arrived at the house and property at 515 W. Carl Hubbell to begin searching, that no one was home.
