(KAIR)--The trial for an Atchison man accused of shooting at a police officer last year has been continued.
Bryan Boldridge was originally scheduled to face a jury of his peers in Atchison County District Court beginning Tuesday.
Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker told MSC News the decision for the continuance came Friday during a hearing.
At its conclusion, the Court granted the request for the continuance made by Boldridge, with his trial now set for July 23-25.
44-year-old Boldridge is charged with 2nd degree attempted murder.
He remains in the Atchison County Jail, held on a bond of $150,000.
According to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, an officer was called October 31, 2018 to an Atchison residence at North 4th and L Streets to assist a utility company with a theft of service issue.
The investigation alleges that during the late morning response, Boldridge suffered injuries when the officer returned fire after Boldridge began shooting.
The officer was not hurt.
