A Gardnerville man with a history of drug convictions is denying three new felonies in connection with his Jan. 18 arrest.
Dean Anthony Stringham, 39, entered not guilty pleas on all three counts last week and is scheduled to appear in East Fork Justice Court on Wednesday.
East Fork Justice of the Peace Cassandra Jones ordered Stringham held without bail since he was on probation at the time.
Stringham said he tried to come to court but was three days late and learned a warrant had been issued for his arrest. He said he complied with an order he participate in a drug rehab program.
In addition to the felonies, he also faces multiple traffic infractions, including driving without a license, no insurance, having an expired registration and fictitious license plates.
Stringham and his brother were arrested in June on drug charges.
