An associate of boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. pleaded not guilty to shooting at a man who argued with the boxer at a Las Vegas skating center last August.

A Clark County District Court judge on Tuesday set a February 2011 trial date for 27-year-old Ocie Harris on charges of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon and weapons charges.

Harris, his lawyer and a bail bondsman headed to the Clark County jail to post $140,000 bail for Harris to remain free pending trial.

Police haven't called the 33-year-old Mayweather a suspect in the shooting, and the fighter isn't named in Harris' indictment.

Harris is accused of shooting at two men in a car outside the skating center.

Neither man in the car was injured.
