6/4/13 - A court date has been set for a Livingston County man facing felony drug charges after Maryland State Police say they found 40 pounds of marijuana in his minivan last month. 52-year-old Stewart Robert Deerr of Unadilla Township was charged with possession with intent to distribute marijuana and cocaine and other offenses after State Police in Maryland pulled over his van May 9th. They say the van had a malfunctioning headlight, but that Deerr was nervous when he spoke to the officer, prompting him to request a police dog scan the vehicle. After the dog alerted and a search was performed, officers say the trooper found 39 bricks of marijuana in a drum case in the back of the minivan. Police say cocaine was also found in the vehicle. Deerr, who is being held on a $250,000 bond, is due back in Frederick County District Court June 11th for a preliminary hearing to determine if thereâs enough evidence to send his case to trial. (JK)
