Yates In Court

A Bryan man, who led authorities on a chase by vehicle, and then on foot last week, pleads not guilty to prior drug-related charges. Joshua Yates entered the plea in a Williams County courtroom. He was indicted last week by a grand jury on charges of aggravated possession of drugs and possession of cocaine. A final pretrial conference is slated for Feb. 22. Yates also faces a prior charge of child endangerment in Defiance County.
