GERING, Neb. -- A South Dakota man facing drug charges in the Nebraska Panhandle has pleaded guilty to three felony counts in Scotts Bluff County District Court.

25-year-old Chazz Litz, of Rapid City, reached a plea deal late last month, according to court documents. He was initially arrested in May after Scottsbluff Police discovered him passed out in the driver's seat of a pickup in a Scottsbluff gas station parking lot.

Officers reported finding suspected fentanyl pills, a blue bong, several glass pipes, a white powdery substance and suspected methamphetamine.

After being cleared by medical staff, Litz was arrested and charged.

Litz will be sentenced in November.
