(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man facing drug charges has entered into a plea agreement. 

26-year-old Kalan Pyle pleaded no contest Monday in Brown County District Court to a felony count of possession of methamphetamine.  

In exchange for the plea, a misdemeanor charge of possession of drug paraphernalia was dismissed.

Sentencing was set for May 22nd.

Pyle and 44-year-old Hiawatha resident Beth Mikita were arrested January 6th in the Hiawatha Wal-Mart parking lot after the Brown County Sheriff’s Department’s K-9, Ari, alerted on their vehicle.  That came after a resident contacted authorities to report suspicious activity.   

The arraignment for Mikita was continued Monday to April 24th.   

She faces charges of possession of meth, possession of drug paraphernalia and traffic contraband into a correctional facility.

The pair also faces drug charges in Richardson County following a traffic stop last September.

In addition, Mikita is accused of violating the terms of her probation in an embezzlement case.

She was convicted of embezzling funds from the Hiawatha Chamber of Commerce between August 2014 and April 2015 while serving as Chamber treasurer.

Last June, Mikita was placed on 12-months supervised probation on charges in that case and ordered to pay more than $8,000 restitution.
