WEATHERSFIELD TWP., Ohio - A Mineral Ridge man pleaded not guilty in Niles Municipal Court on Tuesday to a felony charge of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, where a judge set his bond at $100,000.

In addition, bond was set at $100,000 for Xavier Plummer, 21, who appeared by video for the arraignment.

A warrant for Plummer's arrest was issued when the case was filed with the court on May 27.

Weathersfield Police say Plummer was with a 17-year-old girl along the bike trail when they arrested him on Monday.

The warrant was issued for Plummer after the teen’s mother complained about the two being together.

Another court hearing in the case is scheduled for Wednesday.
