(KNZA)--A Horton man charged in connection with a stabbing in Holton last November has been granted a new attorney.
Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller says 22-year-old Austin Lee Whitebird requested a new court-appointed attorney Thursday. As a result, Miller says his preliminary hearing was continued to February 25.
Whitebird is charged with aggravated battery.
He’s accused of stabbing a 26-year-old man multiple times at a residence in the 100 block of New York Street in Holton the evening of November 23rd.
The victim was initially taken to the Holton hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries and then later transferred to a Topeka hospital.
Whitebird was arrested the following day by Jackson County Sheriff’s deputies after he was located in a vehicle south of Holton.
He remains in the Jackson County Jail.
