Deputies arrest Mica V. Lukach, 28, charged with possession of a controlled substance (meth)
A local man taken into custody Thursday in district court was soon facing a felony drug charge when alleged methamphetamines were found in his possession.
Mica Vernon Lukach, 28, who lists an address of 619 Fourth St., was being taken into custody on an unrelated charge charge while appearing district court shortly after 1 p.m. and was searched before being placed in a holding area off the courtroom.
The deputy searching him reportedly found a small plastic bag in his possession containing 0.5 grams of what later tested positive for meth.
Lukach was charged with possession of a controlled substance, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and remained in custody Monday in lieu of $10,000 bond. He is set to appear in court again today on the new charge.
