There is set to be a status conference next month in a Coffey County drug distribution case dating back three years.
Eric Ray, age 53, was arrested late last month on existing charges of distributing up to 100 grams of methamphetamine, as well as possessing meth and paraphernalia. Ray is also charged with trafficking contraband, in this case, paraphernalia, into the Coffey County Jail.
All the charges stem from an alleged incident in late May 2021.
Ray was convicted on drug distribution and criminal possession of a firearm charges in Shawnee County this past June. He was recently transferred from the Hutchinson Department of Corrections to Coffey County for hearings, including a status conference Dec. 4.
