Trey Anastasio answers drug charges in court

Anastasio Pleads Innocent:

The ex-Phish guitarist pleaded not guilty Tuesday in upstate New York to a slew of new drug charges stemming from a December bust for driving under the influence of prescription medication.

Per the Burlington Free Press, Anastasio appeared in a Washington County Court in Fort Edward and was arraigned in seven-count indictment. Among the most serious allegations Anastasio is facing are three felony counts of illegally possession of prescription painkillers and driving while impaired. The "Sample in a Jar" rocker is also charged with illegally possessing heroin and a prescription painkiller belonging to someone else, both misdemeanors.
