A Juneau woman pleaded not guilty to a federal charge of drug conspiracy in U.S. District Court Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Tiffany Jo Spaulding, 34, and Christian John Peters, 44, were arrested Aug. 9 after a multi-agency warrant search of their house at 427 Fourth St.<\/p>\n

Assistant Federal Public Defender Jamie McGrady was appointed to represent Spaulding, who pleaded not guilty to the charge. McGrady said she was working on a release proposal, but was not yet ready to present it to the court.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Court Judge Deborah M. Smith, appearing via video conference from Anchorage, noted that a trial date had been set for Oct. 3.<\/p>\n

Peters was set to be arraigned today; last week, he was released to the custody of his mother <\/a>with stringent conditions.<\/p>\n

According to the criminal complaint filed against Spaulding and Peters, the U.S. Postal Service Inspector assigned to Juneau identified a suspicious package on Aug. 6 addressed to a “Rosetta Stone” at the Fourth Street address, which contained 50 pills identified as oxycodone and 221 grams of suspected methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

The package was delivered to the front porch of the residence Aug. 9 and was retrieved by Spaulding. Peters arrived about 15 minutes later and reportedly opened the package. A subsequent search of the residence reportedly uncovered a digital scale and a suspected drug ledger, suspected meth and marijuana, ziplock bags and drug paraphernalia including pipes and needles, and the recording system for security cameras at the residence.<\/p>\n

The week before, JPD officers searched the neighboring house at 423 Fourth St., reportedly was for a stolen gun; no arrests were made. Both houses are owned by Breffni Place Properties, a corporation formed by Kathleen Barrett — the owner of the Bergmann Hotel around the corner, which was condemned by the city in March.<\/p>\n
