Former Phish frontman Trey Anastasio [ tickets ] appeared in an upstate New York courtroom today (2/27), where he pleaded not guilty to felony charges stemming from his December arrest for alleged drug-related offenses.

Police said Anastasio, 42, was pulled over on Dec. 15 at about 3:30 a.m. for failing to keep to the right, and was administered a field-sobriety test, with police determining that the singer was under the influence of narcotics. He was also found to be in possession of two prescription narcotics--hydrocodone and percocet--and the anti-anxiety medication Xanax. All three medications were prescribed to another person, authorities said. Police also allegedly found a substance in the car that was later determined to be heroin.

Since the incident, Anastasio spent 28 days in rehab at the Eric Clapton Treatment Center in Antigua.

"He has a problem and he acknowledges that," Anastasio's lawyer, Steve Coffey, told the Albany, NY, Times Union newspaper. "He has a wife and two daughters and he wants to get on with his life."

The next hearing in the case is reportedly scheduled for March 27.
