A Manhattan man arrested for multiple counts of alleged crimes against two elders or dependent adults pleaded not guilty to his charges on Monday in Riley County District Court.
Nathan Christopher Bell, 30, entered not guilty pleas to charges of aggravated residential burglary with the intent to commit aggravated battery, two counts of mistreatment of a dependent adult or elder person, aggravated assault with a charging cable, aggravated battery, criminal threat, four counts of domestic battery and three counts of criminal damage to property.
Riley County police arrested him on Oct. 30, and he’s been held in jail on a $48,000 bond since. The charges allegedly were committed between Oct. 27 and Oct. 30 against a man and woman Bell knows.
Bell’s defense attorney, Aaron Gipson, requested a jury trial for the case, which was set for two days starting Aug. 20.
