Matthew Shrader,38, and his girlfriend Janay Pratt,23, were both charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
At the time, police said Shrader had well documented links to several organized crime groups.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Tuesday but instead the charges against both accused were stayed by the prosecutor.
