DRIGGS A rape case that has been working through the Teton County courts for more than three years now has earned a new felony charge as recently elected Teton County Prosecutor Bailey Smith prepares to take the case to a jury trial in May.
Tetonia resident Ryan Richard Berry, 41, was arrested and charged with felony rape in February 2018 along with a handful of other charges including false imprisonment, battery and providing alcohol to a minor.
He pled not guilty to the charges and posted a $50,000 bond in 2018. Berry waived his right to a speedy trial and filed a motion to disqualify former District Court Judge Gregory Moeller in 2018. The case has slowly worked its way through the legal system with former Teton County prosecuting attorney Billie Siddoway trying unsuccessfully to come to several different plea agreements with the defendant.
