Judge C.B. McNeil dealt with the following cases Wednesday, Aug. 15:
Anthony Coble, 29, Polson, pleaded not guilty to three counts of criminal possession of dangerous drugs, all felonies. An omnibus hearing was set for Wednesday, Oct. 17, and a jury trial set to begin Monday, Dec. 17. Both begin at 9 a.m.
According to court documents, charges stem from a July 31 incident where a Lake County Sheriff’s Deputy perfomed a probation search on Coble’s vehicle and found a baggie of psilocybin-containing mushrooms, and LSD and MDMA in pill form.
Phillip J. Pierre, 50, Polson, in a change of plea, admitted to failure to give notice of change of address by sexual or violent offender, a felony. He was found guilty, and sentencing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 9 a.m. Pierre was ordered to undergo a psychosexual evaluation by that date. Pierre was released and ordered to report immediately to the probation office.
According to court documents, Pierre is a tier three sex offender required to register as a sex offender for a conviction of sexual intercourse without consent. On April 4, Pierre registered as a sex offender and provided an address in Pablo; on May 17, an officer attempted to locate Pierre to verify compliance with the registry, but Pierre no longer lived at his Pablo address. He had been living at a new address for several weeks without notifying the sheriff’s office.
Cody McKee-Asbury, 21, Polson, in a change of plea, admitted to the amended offense of criminal possession of dangerous drugs, a felony. He was found guilty, and sentencing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 9 a.m.
According to court documents, the charge stems from an April 24 incident where McKee-Asbury was arrested on an outstanding warrant. Detention officers found an electric scale, several baggies and a baggie of marijuana among his personal effects. McKee-Asbury admitted the items were his and that he “used to sell marijuana but quit a few days ago.” He said around Jan. 30, he traded about $100 worth of marijuana to three juveniles in exchange for stolen property including three TV sets, a blue ray player, two Wii game consoles, a stack of games and a small stereo.
Micah Ashby, 34, Polson, pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault, a felony, and partner or family member assault, a misdemeanor. An omnibus hearing was set for Wednesday, Oct. 24, and a jury trial set to begin Monday, Jan. 14. Both begin at 9 a.m.
According to court documents, charges stem from a June 29 incident where Ashby allegedly choked a woman until she lost consciousness and then choked his ex-girlfriend. Ashby told investigators he got in an argument with the two women and his ex’s friend said something that made him “pop.” He didn’t remember the whole incident but said he did remember strangling the first woman.
Rosanne Fisher, 57, Ronan, pleaded not guilty to fraudulently obtaining dangerous drugs, a felony. An omnibus hearing was set for Wednesday, Oct. 24, and a jury trial set to begin Monday, Jan. 14. Both begin at 9 a.m.
According to court documents, the charge stems from a June 21 incident where Fisher allegedly obtained a prescription for Lorazepam while hiding from the doctor that she had obtained another prescription for the drug from another source within 30 days. Fisher’s prescription history showed that she had already received prescriptions for Lorazepam from two other providers earlier that month.

According to court documents, the charge stems from an Aug. 5 incident where a Polson Police Officer responded to the report of someone passed out in his car in the McDonald’s drive-through. The driver, Adams, was sleeping; the engine was running and the vehicle was in drive with the keys in the ignition. Adams had passed out with one foot on the brake and one on the gas pedal.
