(KLZA)-- A Falls City man has entered a plea of not guilty to three charges in Richardson County District Court.

20-year old Brett Winters entered the pleas Tuesday to charges of possession of methamphetamine, resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia.

A jury trial has been scheduled for April 12 and bond was continued.

Winters was arrested December 31st by the Falls City Police Department.

On December 13th, Winters was sentenced to probation on a felony charge of burglary. He was charged in an April 2016 burglary of a home in the 2800 block of McLean Street. A motion to revoke his probation has been filed in Richardson County District Court.

Winters is also facing a February 21 sentencing hearing on an amended charge of attempted possession of a controlled substance.

In exchange for his plea, three charges against Winters were dismissed. Among the charges dismissed was a count of tampering with evidence at the scene of the shooting death of Joseph Debella Jr. in August of 2015.
