(KNZA)--A Holton man accused of fatally shooting his father in September 2018 has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller told MSC News 50-year-old Derrick Bohnenkemper waived his hearing Thursday and was bound over to Jackson County District Court for arraignment on January 24.
Bohnenkemper is charged with one count of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted capital murder and one count of aggravated assault.
He is accused of fatally shooting his 73-year-old father, Gaylen Bohnenkemper, on September 18, 2018.
The elder Bohnenkemper was found inside a residence north of Holton after his son surrendered to authorities following a more than 5-hour armed standoff during which shots were allegedly fired at officers.
Bohnenkemper also faces two counts of assault on a law enforcement officer and one count of assault in a separate case stemming from a November 6, 2018 incident in the Jackson County Jail.
