The Daily Jeffersonian
A California man facing two felony charges following an incident on Southgate Parkway last month waived his right to a preliminary hearing this week in the Cambridge Municipal Court.
Charges of receiving stolen property, a fourth-degree felony, and aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony, filed against Tyler J. Riggleman, 32, were bound over to the Guernsey County Common Pleas Court.
Riggleman was one of four individuals whose cases were recently bound over to the higher court. He also faces three misdemeanor offenses including a charge for allegedly lying to Cambridge police about his identity.

A Cambridge man released from prison on parole less than four months ago is facing potential new felony drug charges following a traffic stop by Guernsey County sheriff s deputies Monday evening.
Justin M. Carnes, 31, was being held Tuesday in the Guernsey County Jail on a felony investigation hold issued by deputies following his arrest on Manila Road in Cambridge.
Deputies reportedly seized two containers with a crystal substance that field-tested positive for methamphetamine, suspected marijuana and marijuana wax from a vehicle driven by Carnes.
Investigators said Carnes told them he was paid $200 by a male acquaintance to drive the vehicle from Muskingum County to Cambridge.
