A total of 10 people appeared over the last week for criminal hearings in Van Wert County Common Pleas Court.<\/p>\n

Three people were arraigned during the week on a variety of criminal charges.<\/p>\n

\"\"Robbie Coffey Jr., 31, of St. Marys, appeared Thursday, May 17, and entered not guilty pleas to a charge of operating a vehicle while impaired, a felony of the fourth degree because of at least one previous OVI conviction.<\/p>\n

Judge Martin Burchfield released Coffey on a personal surety bond and scheduled a pretrial conference for 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 11.<\/p>\n

Donald O\u2019Day, 41, of Van Wert, pleaded not guilty to a charge of aggravated possession of drugs, a felony of the third degree, during an arraignment hearing on Monday. Judge Burchfield set a $10,000 cash or commercial surety bond in the case and O\u2019Day will appear for a pretrial conference at 8 a.m. Wednesday, May 30.<\/p>\n

Two people — one of them twice — appeared in court on bond violation charges this week.<\/p>\n
