Greenville – Not guilty pleas are entered in connection to an alleged robbery and kidnapping last year in Greenville.

24-year-old Jackie Lawrence Scott, of South Fredericksburg, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping. An interim hearing date has been set for August 10.
