ABC’s Scranton affiliate WNEP-TV reports that Frein pleaded not guilty in Pike County Court on Thursday. The 31-year-old survivalist was captured in October after a seven-week hunt. U.S. Marshals took him into custody at an abandoned airplane hangar.

WNEP says that Frein’s defense lawyers are considering a motion to change the venue of the trial.
