More felony charges against a Scottsbluff man who was caught with dealer amounts of drugs following a dispute with his girlfriend earlier this month.

19-year-old Aaron Wilder Jr. was arrested on January 8th after Wilder’s girlfriend went to the police department to report that he had assaulted her and later struck her car with his vehicle.

Officers tracked down Wilder and initiated a traffic stop, which resulted in the discovery of marijuana; methamphetamine; several pills, a digital scale, and more than $1,000 in cash.

He was arraigned on seven felony charges across two cases on Friday in District Court, including two fresh charges of Tampering with a Witness.

A May 23rd pretrial date has been scheduled, and Wilder Jr. has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
