(KNZA)--A rural Netawaka man who pleaded “ no contest” last month to a charge of rape as part of a plea agreement in a Jackson County child sex case has filed a motion to withdraw his plea.
36-year-old Scott Buchheit had been scheduled to be sentenced last Friday on the charge.
At their mutual request, Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller says Buchheit’s attorney, Dick Lake, will be allowed to withdraw and he will be appointed another attorney to assist him in arguing his motion. That’s tentatively scheduled for April 15th.
Buchheit had been charged with 11 counts.
He was arrested last February following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department into alleged sex offenses involving an underage girl occurring between March 2008 and January 2015. He was also charged in the theft of a Polaris Ranger side-by-side UTV.
Buchheit remains in the Jackson County Jail.
