A jury trial will be held in November for a Waubay man facing felony drug charges in Grant County.

A hearing was held Tuesday morning in Grant County Circuit Court for 30-year-old Steven Owen, who has been formally charged with having possession of one pound or more of marijuana with intent to deliver and false representation with intent to deceive a law enforcement officer.

The charges stem from a traffic stop initiated by Grant County sheriff’s deputies on May 13th of this year on Highway 12 near Big Stone City at which time approximately four pounds of high grade marijuana was seized.

A jury trial for Owen has been set for November 16th and 17th in Grant County Circuit Court in Milbank.

Two other people have also been formally charged in the same case. Twenty-seven-year-old Cody Gill and 26-year-old Jordin Gill, both of Waubay, face similar charges in connection with the May 13th drug bust.

A trial date has not yet been set for either of the two suspects.
