(KNZA)--A rural Everest man, accused of threatening three 10-year-olds with a knife, has pleaded not guilty to charges.

19-year-old Grayson Weesner entered the plea last week in Brown County District Court to three felony counts of aggravated assault.

A jury trial is expected to be set during a pre-trial hearing on February 6.

Weesner was arrested by the Horton Police Department early September 9 after the alleged incident was reported.

He was also charged in November in a separate case with two felony counts of criminal damage to property and a misdemeanor count of criminal derivation of property.

Weesner is accused of damaging a 2015 Dodge pickup truck and a railroad crossing arm on January 13 of this year.

A preliminary hearing in that case is set for January 18.

Weesner remains free on O.R bonds in both cases.
