Mid-July Trial Set For Man Accused In Armed Soda Pop Robbery

Associated Press0

HURON, S.D. (AP) — A Lane man accused of stealing soda pop from a Huron convenience store at gunpoint has once again pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

Sixty-one-year-old Martin Moeller last September entered the same plea to charges of first-degree robbery and commission of a felony with a firearm in the June 2014 incident. A judge later declared him incompetent to stand trial and ordered him to get mental health treatment.

Moeller earlier this month was deemed competent to stand trial, and KOKK radio reports that he appeared in court again on Tuesday for an arraignment. His trial was set for mid-July.

Moeller is free on bond, but he’s being required to take an anti-psychotic medication.
