Posted Jul 08, 2021 2:54 PM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson man who entered guilty pleas to more than a dozen counts in five different cases is scheduled for sentencing Friday afternoon in Reno County District Court.

Scott Lutz entered the pleas in May to numerous counts of possession of meth with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, several counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and three counts of felony flee and elude.

Under the plea agreement, Lutz will not be able to appeal the cases, nor will he be able to withdraw his plea at a later date. His attorney will be able to argue a departure of sentence and whether the sentences in each case will run consecutive or concurrent to each other during Friday’s hearing.
