(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a Holton man facing a charge of attempted first-degree murder has been postponed again.
Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller tells MSC News that the hearing for 30-year-old Manuel Juarez-Benito was continued last Friday to April 14th at the request of his attorney.
Juarez-Benito had originally been charged as Pedro Juarez-Alonzo, but Miller says they have since learned his correct name.
Juarez-Benito was arrested February 8th at a Holton residence after authorities responded to a domestic incident involving an alleged attempted strangulation. The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries.
Beside the attempted murder charge, Juarez-Benito is also charged with rape, aggravated battery, two counts of criminal threat, aggravated endangering a child and domestic battery. In addition, the criminal compliant was recently amended to add a charge of obstruction of official duty.
Juarez-Benito remains in the Jackson County Jail on a $200,000 bond.
