Aubern- Former Libertarian Party gubernatorial candidate Steve Kubby
and his wife have entered not-guilty pleas to drug charges.

Kubby, 52, and his wife, Michele, 32, entered the pleas Friday at
their arraignment in Placer County Superior Court.

The Olympic Valley residents were charged with cultivating marijuana,
possession of marijuana for sale, two counts of conspiracy to commit a
crime, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession
of more than 28.5 grams of marijuana, and possession of an ingestion
