LYNDHURST, Ohio -- A man accused of selling hallucinogenic mushrooms to a teenager who was later shot and killed by police appeared in a Lyndhurst courtroom Wednesday.
Matthew Palinkas (pictured, left), 22, pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking charges, a third-degree felony. Last week, Mayfield Heights police said they were forced to shoot and kill a 19-year-old when he tried to run at a police car naked with a knife, WEWS-TV reported. Police believe the teen may have taken the mushrooms before the incident. Bond for Palinkas was set at $100,000.
