The Juneau man who was arrested on suspicion of growing marijuana in his residence while he was out on bail pleaded not guilty to violating conditions of his release.
Scott W. Eberhardt entered his plea Thursday during his arraignment in Juneau District Court before Judge Thomas Nave.
Nave appointed the Public Defender Agency to represent Eberhardt on the new misdemeanor charge, and scheduled a preliminary hearing for July.
Prosecutors say police initially seized 181 marijuana plants from Eberhardt’s residence on North Douglas Highway in December.
But while he was out on bail, prosecutors said police again seized 61 rooted marijuana plants at Eberhardt’s new residence on Jennifer Drive in the valley.
He was slapped with four new felony drug charges, as well as the newest charge of violating conditions of release.
Police stated in an earlier release they arrested Eberhardt on April 20 after conducting a controlled delivery of oxycodone hydrochloride tablets to his house, whereupon they discovered the plants.
In connection to what prosecutors have dubbed “Marijuana Grow No. 1,” Eberhardt pleaded guilty in March to reduced misdemeanor drug misconduct.
He was supposed to be sentenced in that case Thursday in Juneau Superior Court, but the hearing was re-scheduled at the last minute. It is now slated for May 22.

...pleaded guilty to stupidity.
Have they scheduled
a compentancy hearing? Really starting to wonder if he is all there. Or maybe he is just auditioning for a reality show.
Makes Me Wonder His Thought Processes
When I read about this man, I see that his life is based on lies. He commits illegal acts then when he's caught, he denies it and puts up a good fight to get out of it. He's honed his techniques on everyone around him and makes his life that way. Then he covers his tracks with even more lies, each lie to cover the last lie till no more truth is left. Really sad to see this young man live like that. He's hurting people but hurting himself the most.
Look at the good side
The brownies at Lemon Creek are about to get a lot better
Ok...not guilty?
Uh, why would he plead guilty to one instance and not the other? I'm so confused.
I wonder when we'll read
I wonder when we'll read about his third grow show getting busted. If he's walking the streets, he might be setting that up right now in some clandestine location. Of course, I think he had figured that the first two places were beyond the reach of prying eyes. This guy is just way too clever for his own good.
