A 33-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges in a drug-related slaying in western Nebraska.

SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) - Jason Custer made his pleas during an arraignment Thursday in Cheyenne County District Court in Sidney.

Custer is accused of fatally shooting Adam McCormick on Nov. 3 in Sidney.  Authorities have said they think the two men were arguing about $160 in drug money.

Custer fled Sidney to Big Springs, where he was arrested later that day at a motel.

Custer remains in custody, pending $1 million bail. His next hearing is scheduled for Jan. 8.
