Michael David Blowers, 43, above, has pleaded not guilty to the charges of supplying the Class A drug methamphetamine to a woman on a number of occasions between June 1, 2011 and June 31, 2012; a charge of supplying the Class C drug cannabis to the same
woman at least once during the same period and a third charge of stealing methamphetamine on or about October 19, 2011.
