MINDEN, Neb. -- A central Nebraska cab driver who was accused of raping a customer has pleaded not guilty.

Officials said 58-year-old Michael Schelling is charged with felony first-degree sexual assault. The charge stems from an alleged incident in July when a woman said Schelling took her in his cab from Kearney to Minden and sexually assaulted her.

Court documents show that the victim told authorities that she contacted Schelling, a cab driver from Buffalo Cab, to pick her up from her job in Kearney and take her to another location in town.

According to authorities, she also said she had taken prescription pills causing her to remember only parts of what had happened.

A pre-trial hearing is scheduled in October.
