Man accused of running away with teen pleads not guilty

The 22-year old man accused of running away with a Zanesville High School student plead not guilty in court Wednesday.

Mike Wutzler faces up to two years in prison if convicted of two counts of interference with custody. He’s accused of leaving the state with a 14-year old high school student.

Wutzler appeared before Judge Kelly Cottrill in Muskingum County Common Pleas Court. His bond was modified to a $10,000 recognizance bond, according to Muskingum County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Bob Smith.
