Jason Esque was arraigned in Buena Vista Circuit Court on Sept. 5, pleading not guilty to the six felonies and three misdemeanors he’s been charged with in connection to a vehicle accident on March 10 which resulted in the death of Donnie Coleman.

He was indicted by a grand jury in July on those felony charges, as well as additional charges of felony murder, vehicular manslaughter and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
A jury trial is scheduled for Jan. 29 and 30. A hearing for pretrial motions is schedule for Dec. 19.
