A man who allegedly smoked marijuana in a bathroom in the YMCA pleaded not guilty Thursday.

Daniel Martin Gilles, 35, of Austin appeared in Mower County court on charges of felony fifth-degree drug possession and two petty misdemeanors of possessing a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

At about 7:32 p.m. on May 10, officers received a report of a man smoking marijuana in the YMCA bathroom. Officers found Gilles in the parking lot. They also saw large bulky objects in both of his jacket pockets.

Gilles denied he had weapons. During a pat search, he told officers he had a marijuana grinder on him and knives in some of his pockets. He was then placed in handcuffs and searched for other contraband, which revealed three marijuana pipes, three containers — one wooden, one plastic and one metal — that held marijuana, a plastic bag that held marijuana, two Adderall pills, four folding knives and five Naproxen pills.

Gilles told officers the amphetamine (Adderall) belonged to his ex-wife. Gilles was transported to Mower County Jail.

Gilles’s next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 27 for a pre-trial and Nov. 7 for a jury trial.
