A Wooster woman who allegedly sold $600 worth of a controlled substance was arraigned Thursday June 30 in Holmes County Common Pleas Court. Glenda M. Pinnicks, 57, 753 North Geyer Chapel Road, pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated trafficking in hydromorphone within the vicinity of a school. The charges stem from four controlled buys conducted by the Holmes County Sheriff’s narcotics unit between May 7 and May 26. According to Prosecuting Attorney Steve Knowling, the first hydromorphone buy was for $600. The four buys totaled $1,200. Hydromorhpone is a prescription painkiller derived from morphine. Knowling said he is unaware how Pinnicks obtained the painkillers. “They are prescription drugs, but we don’t know if she has a prescription for them or not,” Knowling said. Pinnicks faces a mandatory minnimum of two years in prison and up to eight years in prison on the most serious charge if convicted. Also Thursday, a Glenmont man and a Millersburg woman were arraigned on charges stemming from an alleged May 14 flee and elude incident. Dustin L. Cottrell, 24, 14635 Township Road 32, pleaded not guilty to failue to comply with an order or signal of a police officer and two counts of driving under suspension. Megan K. Miller, 21, 3618 state Route 83, pleaded not guilty to complicity to failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer and wrongful entrustment of a motor vehicle. The charges stem from May 14, when Cottrell was driving Miller’s car on Port Washington Road in Millersburg. According to court records, a Millersburg Police officer attempted to stop Cottrell, and Conttrell allegedly led the officer on a chase out of the village limits. Miller’s charges stem from her alleged knowledge that Cottrell could not legally drive. Cottrell and Miller each face up to five years in prison on the most serious charge if convicted.
