A local man accused of possessing cocaine with intent to deliver was arraigned in Juneau Superior Court on Thursday.
Timothy A. Sanders, 39, pleaded not guilty to the three felony charges leveled against him.
Sanders was indicted by a Juneau grand jury on Nov. 16 on three counts of third-degree drug misconduct for allegedly possessing cocaine with intent to deliver on Aug. 2, 18 and 24.
Third-degree drug misconduct is a class ‘B’ felony that can be punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
The indictment indicates a confidential informant for the Juneau Police Department helped conduct controlled buys of the drugs on the dates listed above.
Police and prosecutors did not answer inquiries from the Empire seeking comment on the amount of drugs alleged to be involved, or the street value thereof.
Judge Philip Pallenberg appointed the Public Defender Agency to represent Sanders. Sanders was previously released on his own recognizance and is due in court again on Tuesday.
Court records online indicate Sanders will also be arraigned on Tuesday for a felony theft charge in a separate case.

Why doesnt the empire put a picture of these people in the article? I may not know him by name, but chances are I've seen him around town. I, for one, want to know what these people look like.
Right to privacy? It's none
Right to privacy? It's none of your business? Didn't commit a crime with a victim so there's no reason for the whole city to be prejudice against him? Maybe we should post pictures of vehicles that get reckless driving charges, they are far more dangerous and potentially will kill and injury people? Not justifying his crime in anyway, but really, what justification could anyone have for needing to see someone that committed a crime? Sexual offenders, different story.
Juneau drug problem
"Aug. 2, 18 and 24" Jpd is leaving known drug dealers on the street. Some have been months after the first buy. How many addicts keep getting their drugs from dealers that are left on the street to deal while jpd builds a case?
Just make a buy and cuff them on the spot. Stop allowing known offenders to stay on the streets.

Innocent until proven guilty. Once convicted, I agree, they should.
This guy should be in jail
Instead of boasting about how these charges will never stick and JPD has nothing on him. Three separate sales and he's out on OR? As I have mentioned before, I've had my struggles and am by no means perfect. Thanks to JPD and other LAWs throwing me behind bars, I made a choice to rejoin our community as a law abiding citizen. Mr. Sanders will learn nothing sitting around local haunts mocking law enforcement!
