A Bismarck woman is slated to stand trial May 10 on charges of abuse or neglect of a child and actual physical control of a motor vehicle with a minor present.

Stacey Hildebrand, 42, maintained her not guilty pleas to those charges Monday at the Burleigh County Courthouse. She pleaded guilty on Feb. 7 to possession of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school, a Class Bfelony, and possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class Cfelony.

Hildebrand, 42, was charged Sept. 26 with the offenses after Bismarck police found her and her infant son sleeping in a car on the 500 block of East Avenue E at 10:21 a.m. Sept. 25.

An officer woke Hildebrand, and police found methamphetamine and methamphetamine paraphernalia while searching the vehicle. Hildebrand's 11-month-old son was found naked in a child seat in the back seat of the vehicle. The baby was turned over to relatives.

Burleigh County Assistant State's Attorney Julie Lawyer said a presentence investigation already has been completed in the case, so South Central District Judge Robert Wefald will sentence Hildebrand following her trial.

Earlier this month, Wefald dismissed a motion by Hildebrand's defense attorney, Susan Schmidt, which asked that all charges against Hildebrand be dismissed because the state's attorney's office had failed to give her a supplemental report from an original police report.

Hildebrand has been held in the Burleigh County Detention Center on $10,000 bond since her arrest in September.
