(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a Holton man accused of shooting at law enforcement officers during a standoff last month has been postponed again.
Jackson County Shawna Miller tells MSC News the hearing for 31-year-old Patrick Miller was continued last Thursday at the request of the defense. He is now scheduled to appear in court February 8th for a status hearing.
Miller is facing 11 felony counts—including three counts of attempted capital murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder. In addition, he faces 7 misdemeanor counts.
Holton Police and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office responded late December 3rd to a report of a domestic disturbance at 802 Ohio in Holton.
Miller allegedly first multiple rounds at officers from the residence and struck a sheriff’s office vehicle that his wife was being detained in.
Authorities negotiated with Miller for about two hours before he peacefully surrendered.
No injuries were reported.
Miller remains in the Jackson County Jail, held on a one million dollar bond.
His 23-year-old wife, Erica Miller, faces two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of domestic battery, in connection with the incident. She remains free on a $10,000 bond.
