An Ironton man accused of using the postal service to traffic marijuana denied the charges Tuesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Ian Edens, 25, of 517 N. Sixth St., was arraigned on two second-degree counts of trafficking in drugs. One count alleged Edens was in the vicinity of a school, while the other alleged he was in the vicinity of a minor.

Edens pleaded not guilty to both counts.

Judge Charles Cooper set bond at $50,000 cash or surety.

Edens was arrested earlier this month following an investigation of two suspicious packages at the Ironton Post Office.

One of the packages contained 10.1 pounds of marijuana and was addressed to Edens at 715 Walnut St.

The other contained approximately 9 pounds of marijuana and was addressed to Nicole Jones at 517 N. Sixth St.
