One of the people charged in connection with the death of Chris Bagley has pleaded not guilty.
Paul Hoff faces charges of obstructing prosecution and abuse of a corpse. He is the owner of the Cedar Rapids home where authorities say Bagley died.
Court documents show Drew Blahnik stabbed Bagley to death in December of 2018 during a fight over drugs. He and Drew Wagner face first degree murder charges.
Authorities say Wagner and Blahnik buried Bagley's body in front of a home at 4069 Soutter Avenue Northeast in Cedar Rapids. Officials found his body in March.
Hoff is already serving a 14 year sentence after pleading guilty to federal drug and firearms charges.
