Day was found and arrested in April at a truck stop near Omaha, Nebraska, after AMBER Alerts were issued in several states. He's accused of taking the teen from her home after they met online.
His next court date in Dodge County is set for October.
Day is also charged in federal court, where he also has pleaded not guilty. A jury trial in that case is scheduled to begin in September.
